Hoping we take the love inside with us …

Legendary rock band Queen once asked the ultimate question: “Who wants to live forever … when love must die?” Even though Freddie Mercury and Brian May said the world has but one sweet moment set aside for us, maybe forever is within our grasp. “But touch my tears with your lips … Touch my world with your fingertips … And we can have forever … And we can love forever …”
