23. I am so sorry (((hugs))) I hope you find strength in these words....
Sun Nov 9, 2014, 05:42 PM
Nov 2014

These words gave me strength when my mother passed...

One day you wake up and remember that your loved one didn't just die, that they also lived.
May the memories of their life soon fill the sadness you are feeling now.
