I know you're probably not around. But this was a quote someone sent to me a long time ago and I thought it might provide a bit of inspiration to you. I just hope you know we're all thinking of you.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
Lao Tzu

"At times to think of one's outer helplessness is good, but to think always of one's inner strength is infinitely better. "-Sri Chinmoy

I have this as a background on my computer as a reminder.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."- Elizabeth Kubler Ros

This is beautiful KC. Thank you for sharing.

Stella is lurking and said thanks for the all the kind words. She's amazed by the support she's gotten, and it's making the process a little more bearable.

We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness. - David Weatherford

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.

Stella I'm not sure if your religious but these songs mean a lot to me and I hope they can be of comfort to you now.

This was one of my Mom's favorite songs and I had no idea until after she died. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvIxwc90BEI ( Andre Crouch Through it All)

And this one kept me functioning in the weeks leading up to and after my Mom's death.

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth
