It was a simple little lesson… Brought to me by the most gracious people I have ever met. But it stirs me even now–
He or she who has lost, and yet loved, may indeed have less to lose…
But also unspeakably more to give.
I have learned that gentleness, selflessness, real warmth and grace are seldom owned in their depth by those who have not tasted sorrow.
They are trophies won in the face of pain and loss.
But they make their possessors the richest, most beautiful people in the world…
So, to my new friends–
Your love through loss has been the gain of thousands…
Thank you.
