Heart Quote by Sarah Michelle Lynch
““She’d never seen him cry before – not really cry, with snot and noise and heaving sobs – and as she looked down into his tears, she saw within them words of love he’d spoken and images of times they’d shared. He shed them all away for her sake – because no longer could she cry.””
