I am moved by the words on the page I was reading this morning, "Whenever we feel that the pain of losing our dear one is too great, we should remember with gratitude the moments spent together that transformed us into in better people. Behind the sorrow, there is the happiness of having been together at least for a while."

I find comfort in these words and will leave these lay until the joy comes back into my heart. I have no doubt that there will be changes within me, one small thing at a time, until one day, I feel me again. There have definitely been enough untimely deaths this last year. Even one is too many.

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

If I should die, And you should live, And time should gurgle on, And morn should beam, And noon should burn, As it has usual done; If birds should build as early, And bees as bustling go,– One might depart at option From enterprise below! ‘Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand When we with daisies lie, That commerce will continue, And trades as briskly fly. It makes the parting tranquil And keeps the soul serene, That gentlemen so sprightly Conduct the pleasing scene!
