Father Quote by Susan Meissner
““I smiled. "I just wish... I wish I didn't judge people by what they have or don't have. I wish I could see people for you they are on the inside before I come to any conclusions." My dad blinked slowly and then said... "Yes, that would be better than the other, but it still makes you their judge.””
