43. There are no words that can serve at such a time

Dec 2016

Only the knowlege that others feel your grief and wish to lift your pain. May the days ahead be softened by good memories, love and friendship. May laughter follow tears as surely as the spring follows winter, although it is hard to see in the depths of December.

Hugs, my friend.
