&quot;Remember your days are like pages, chapters unread, you have to keep going, keep turning, keep reading... Because your book has no end. Just like the ampersand tattoo on my thumb, we will not fade. You are in my heart and I&lsquo;m ready to start a new journey with all of you remaining by my side. I can do nothing alone, and I&#039;m grateful I won&#039;t have to because of you.&quot; <br /> <br /> - Austin Carlile

To see a world in a grain of sand,<br /> And a heaven in a wild flower,<br /> Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,<br /> And eternity in an hour.
