You’ve found some beautiful quotes, Beth. There was one I found years ago. I don’t remember who it was by, but it goes, “Perfect love isn’t achieved until you hold your first grandchild.”

Here’s a few of my favs:
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
~1 Corinthians 13:4-8
All You Need Is Love.
~John Lennon
Since love grows within you,
so beauty grows.
For love is the beauty of the soul.
~Saint Augustine
Love recognizes no barriers.
It jumps hurdles, leaps fences,
penetrates walls to arrive at its destination.
~Maya Angelou
