"Time, I have learned, is a doctor. I am finding that the good days increasingly outnumber the bad ones. My smiles come more naturally. My longing, while it remains, is less acute. It will always remain, but it's a room inside me that I no longer feel compelled to visit...
There are new things in life, and probably good things in life, that I am just now starting to discover. So I am cautiously stepping into the future with my mind set on becoming, if not happier, at least wiser in life.
My youth I am leaving behind. It will stay always with my precious Seriozha."
