I believe that we can be grateful and good AND
sad – all at the same time.

again within your heart and you will see that in
truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight"

our journey"

Arming myself as well. Our parents gave us life, and they certainly don't want to take any of our days away with grief just because they have passed on. We must enjoy our lives to honor theirs. But that doesn't mean those sucker punches are easy to dodge.
