Favorite Quote:
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. ~Christopher McCandless


The alarm goes off, a boy pulls the blankets off of himself and prepares for the day,
He walks downstairs and glances at his mother, he rudely asks her to make him breakfast,
Tears come streaming down his Mother's face,
For the day before was Mother’s Day and not a word was said,
For the day before he preferred to stay in bed,
For the day before he would rather play video games instead,
Of show a little appreciation for his mother,
Who would one day be dead. For the day before he would dread, What was not said, To the person he loved most

he gave tears instead.
