A cherubim does cease to sing.”

Wordless, imperfect love; love that is constant, love that is simple goodness, love that forgives not only bad singing and embarrassments, but misunderstandings and harsh words.

A dog is a four-legged reminder that love comes and time passes and then your heart breaks.”
