amen.
love it. that resonates with me so much.
I love quotes like these. They give us permission to grieve over our loss of what we thought would have been a better life....but will never know for sure.
Most days I can salute that ship being thankful for the life I\'ve had and look forward to more good times. Other days I want to swim after that ship....disaster be damned!
Thanks so much for this Kitty....keep em comin.
