“That was the thing about storms. When you were in the middle of them, they felt so powerful. They felt as if they were driving your life, and you were left with no control over the way the winds blew you. That was why it was so important to have a core group of love surrounding you at all times. When you faced the storms together, when you held the hands of the ones you loved, and stood steady, the storms had a harder time pushing you over.

You were left standing with the ones you loved, staring out at the rainbows.” LoveHopeFamilySmall Town RomanceEmotional HealingHealthy RelationshipChildhood FriendsHeart Warming Book:Southern Storms Source: Southern Storms
