Quotes
Lethe Anderson: Other than that son. It's been a rather quiet often. I would surely love to see you and Anne and the twins, I'll bet they're getting so big I'd hardly know them. Please write when you can. I'm so proud of all of you.

I'll Never Cease To Dream Lyrics
I'll Never Cease to dream, of letters from my family.

Maybe tomorrow will be the day of love, for me.
