It is up to me to decide not to just stand there looking at the dead flowers on the ground, but to live in a constant spring that brings out the sweetness of the soul.

Not missing the chance to be with my loved ones is the perfect way to raise a glass in a celebration as intimate and meaningful as this event we call Life.
