I hope you are getting through the day, too, my friend. One at a time - it's the only way I can do it - with the help, love and support of family and friends - ;))
I had never heard that quote before - I think it's a good one. I hope I'm not out of line here - I rarely say "I'm sorry for your loss" when it's someone I've known. I prefer to say, "I'm so honored to have known them." I tend to lean toward the positive..... I do hope you had a day of good memories of years past and was able to enjoy your day.... (((hugs)))
Thanks, Katie - You're not out of line at all. I know the "proper" line is "I'm sorry for your loss." - but I think it is so overused and automatic that it has lost its true meaning. I much prefer your response - it is much more heart-felt - thank you. And, yes - I spent the day with friends and memories and was able to enjoy my day - ;))
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.

DeleteI hope you are getting through the day, Kitty. Good quote there. I would find to live up to but still it rings true.
