Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
i have to go with these two lines:
Nine Days - If I Am:
Never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises today
Kai - My Prayer:
God, I know she's out there...
the one I'm supposed share my whole life with.
And in time, you'll show her to me.
Will you protect her, comfort her and protect her
Until that day we meet?
Let her know my heart is beating with hers.
