[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 703291, member: 19617"] Pasa. I just saw this and send my heartfelt thoughts at your time of sorrow. I'm sharing a poignant poem (below) that I periodically bring to remembrance at these times. Hopefully, it can remind us not to wait to be aware of how we can care and touch someone's life. Bless and take care. [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][B][I][U]If I Had Known[/U][/I][/B][/INDENT][/INDENT] If I had known the trouble you were bearing; What griefs were in the silence of your face; I would have been more gentle and more caring; And tried to give you gladness for a space. I would have brought more warmth into the place, If I had known. If I had known what thoughts despairing drew you; (Why do we never try to understand?) I would have lent a little friendship to you, And slipped my hand within your hand, And made your stay more pleasant in the land, If I had known. [I] Author: Mary Carolyn Davies[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
