Autumn Quote by Susan L. Marshall
““The autumn leaves remind me of my own faded memories. The leaves hold their own precious stories, which drift about in the wind, finding a new place to settle and continue to exist. The bare branches of the elm tree still stand tall and strong, like I do. It is a reminder that life still continues even during the most adverse times. As I land gently on the grassy plain, my attention is drawn to the sight of fallen autumn leaves, floating across the steady stream of water. Sherwin has presented me with many of these beautiful leaves in the past. They are symbols of our steadfast endurance as a couple and bring warmth and joy to my heart.””
