So I have this g-mail account that I use for business, and I usually ignore the single line advertising that they place at the top of the inbox. Sometimes, however, I am compelled to look and I enjoy what I find. A couple of times I have received a Quote of the day. Today, it was a quote from Michael Korda. I clicked on the link to the site, and enjoyed all the quotes he had, so I figured I'd post them here. They all come from Brainyquote.com, I site I would highly recommend if you're looking for a particular quote. Enjoy!
HI Christien, Daddy still loves you and misses you. I think of and pray for you every day, mi hijo. Cuidate y portate bien.
