Today's September weather was perfect: crisp air, sunny skies, and a blue cloudless sky. So I decided to pick up my sixteen-year-old niece to enjoy it with her. We drove out to the park where we sat along the river on a bench talking about life.
I said to her, "It's a shame we can't stay with the people we love when we are young. I'll always love him and I'll probably never be with him again. It's so sad, so tragic, and yet beautiful."
"It is beautiful," she responded.
Surprised by her reply I asked her why she thought so.
She answered, "Because it shows you how long real love lasts."
