Quote by Edith Eva Eger

“The irony of freedom is that it is harder to find hope and purpose. Now i must come to terms with the fact that anyone i marry won't know my parents. If i ever have children, they won't know their grandparents. It isn't just my own loss that hurts. It's the way it ripples out into the future.”

All you can do is own your mistakes, forgive yourself, and keep on living.”
