QUOTE : After everything we’d been through, it was finally over. We’d experienced a lengthy and intense nightmare over the past couple of weeks—which, by the way, felt more like years. In the end, it had brought us closer together. It had put us through incredible trials and tribulations. We’d walked out of it all still breathing, albeit a little roughed up. There was a hole in my soul. But hope was blossoming in my heart again.
