“I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it.”
Nicholas Gage from the movie "City of Angels"
In reviewing quotes, I am again struck by the ones I find comfort in. They all seem to lean toward the wonderful times we spent with our loved ones, not the loss of that person in our life. For example I found todays quote while I was looking for something about eternity. I wanted to find something that would comfort me in the thought of John now in a place of no pain or suffering. I wanted think about John resting comfortably in eternity, but instead I find words to comfort me and remind me of the wonderful time here on earth that we were able to share life with John. Eternity in this life would not be near the joy of 27 years with John.
Enjoy today. Hug your children. Call your parents. Spend time with friends.

Good Morning Linda, I am reaching out with a hug for you. I am honored to know such a strong and caring woman. Sending prayers to help you stay strong and to always keep good memories of John in your heart. Regards to the entire Stanford family. And booo to the 5 inches of snow we got in Detroit last night. This winter just does not seem to want to end.
Hey Sweet Friend - I just got back home (didn't get to the computer in the hotel once this week) - and was anxious to catch up on your blog!
So many good thoughts and quotes - I think you are moving forward masterfully! Your attitude is so healthy, and you do have many wonderful memories to reflect upon.
I too am so glad Mike's job is going well - he is such a delight and remarkable too! Tell him I am so proud of how well he is doing in his new job!
Feel me loving you!
PS(Rosemary is so funny - I like her advice about the new clothes vs washing old ones)!
I am thinking of you and Mr. Stanford, as well as my poor parents in Detroit stuck in that awful weather!! My home is open to you should you ever want a warm sunny break. In the mean time, more warm and sunny thoughts comin' your way!!!
