THE RIGHT PERSON

I am grateful for understanding early (thanks to Thomas Hardy)
when it comes to friends, family and ultimately my wife
for knowing who the right people are with whom to share my life.

“At your very best, you still won't be good enough for the wrong person. 
But at your absolute worst, you'll still be worth it to the right person”

Very true Jim, the right person is beside you through everything, the ups and downs of life’s merry-go-round… Beryl
