*“The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another’s heart.”-Marcus Tullius Cicero

“She loved me best, and she loved me now.”- Tipping the Velvet

“Something about you It's like a addiction Hit me with your best shot honey I've got no reason to doubt you 'Cause some things hurt And you're my only virtue And I'm virtually yours

And you keep coming back, coming back again Keep running round, running round, running round my head.”- “Certain Things” by James Arthur (Same as on the pic).

“If we had the chance to do it all again, would we? Could we?”- “The Way We Were”-Barbara Streisand (same as on the pic)

“She was beautiful, she was gracious, intelligent, loved life, loved her friends, loved animals. She simply loved everything.” Nedra Paugh (JonBenet’s grandma)

“Roses are red, violets are blue, I hope you love me because I love you.”-poem JonBenet recited at the Little Miss Charlevoix pageant.

"How should I behave? I am dressed like a princess."-"The Slipper and the Rose""

“My favorite goddaughter was she [Anastasia] indeed! I liked her fearlessness. She never whimpered or cried, even when hurt. She was a fearful tomboy."- Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia, Aunt of Anastasia 

Romanov.Happy 119th birthday to the spunkiest, headstrong, spirited princess that ever graced the world. Everyone knows her as Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov. The same Anastasia from countless books about the lost Russian princess and Anna Anderson, the same Anastasia from the cartoon movie we grew up with in the 90s, and the same Anastasia from the now hit broadway musical. They are all about her, yes she was a real person. She was unlike any grand duchess before her. Her mother called her "the imp" because of how utterly mischievous and cunning she was. She took great pride in pranking her siblings and father's officers. It was said that she was "the only one of her sisters who had never known the meaning of shyness". She was highly intelligent and loved making people laugh, a true gift of hers. She loved and was close to all her sisters, especially the one closest in age with her, Maria, BUT her best friend was her little brother, Alexei. Its been over a century now since her life as well as her family were taken prematurely, but she more than any other member of her family is still remembered today. Maybe this is perhaps because of how captivating she is. We want to believe she was strong enough to make it out and create a new life for herself, that she could have overturned the legend. Sadly, her story of making it out that night was just that, a legend. As long as we tell their stories though, and speak all of their names, just as we would for anyone who had passed on, they will not only be remembered, but they will continue to live.

“There are so many dreams I need to see with you There are so many years I need to be with you I will never be complete I will never be alive I will never change the world Until I do.”- “The Next 10 Minutes”-The Last 5 Years (same as the quote in the pic)

“..But its not to be, if I can’t love her..Let the world be done with me.”-”If I Can’t Love Her” from Beauty and the Beast (same as on the picture)

“She would be the older version of her six-year-old self. She’d be a confident girl. She’d be beautiful, and she would enjoy everything that she chose to do in life.” - A pageant friend of JonBenet’s.

Happy 29th birthday sweet girl, it should have never been this way. I hope you have the most beautiful, fun filled day among the stars and the clouds<3
