I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart. - Nicholas Sparks

We're not the same people we were then. We've changed, we've grown.

I've come to believe that children live for the satisfaction of surprising their parents...

I lead a simple life now, I am foolish, an old man in love, a dreamer who dreams of nothing but reading to Allie and holding her whenever I can. I am a sinner with many faults and a man who believes in magic, but I am too old to change and too old to care.
