It was meant to be there for you, apparently. And I was very honored to support this - while I'm sorry it led to even more sorrow via the comments, I'm glad so many people found it resonated for them, and hopefully the sadness will lead to even more healing for you, your family, and everyone touched by your words.
Your friend sounds very wise, and I can't help but think that phrase would make an amazing tattoo.
Bright blessings to you, dear lady. 💜
