What a small world we live in--and it makes me wonder about all the stories we *don't* hear, that only come to us by chance. If those had simply been wedding photos or anything else, for instance, that shared moment wouldn't have happened.<br /><br />It seems that Someone is reaching out to you every day with some tiny touch, some small comfort--what a beautiful thing.Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-63145654536383088482010-02-26T13:40:52.794-05:002010-02-26T13:40:52.794-05:00Thank you, Jeanie.

I found your web page and have enjoyed it so much. I read some of your stories yesterday about being kids and the games you played. It was very entertaining. I'm thinking of you daily.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694144868500689179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-70885737525972640482010-02-26T12:06:26.212-05:002010-02-26T12:06:26.212-05:00I find that many people live with quiet but extrao...I find that many people live with quiet but extraordinary courage, Maggie, and even after tragedy find meaning in going on with their lives. I find it humbling; they have traveled the path ahead of me and are showing me the way.<br /><br />Grace--You're right, Megan, grace lights our world, helping us see into each other's hearts. And Nance, serendipidity certainly was at play; I thought at the time how extraordinary that I should meet her on this particular day--I am still hiding in a way, yet she was at work, going through her day with this sorrow in her heart, but also with love and pride in the man her brother was.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-55116740464855619242010-02-26T10:17:13.681-05:002010-02-26T10:17:13.681-05:00You write with grace ... about grace ... and it wa...You write with grace ... about grace ... and it was by grace that I "just happened" to open your blog today.megan hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765316483427814349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-23388806733103838282010-02-25T23:38:49.604-05:002010-02-25T23:38:49.604-05:00it is a world full of coincidence and serendipity....it is a world full of coincidence and serendipity. You went out, not wanting to be recognized, comforted or sympathized over. Yet you came across someone who you could help comfort and sympathize with. You could convey condolences.<br /> <br />(Condolences. My condolences. Extend condolences. Are these old fashioned, outdated phases? I use them yet I don't hear them used at all anymore.) <br /> <br />I am quite sure you helped this young sales clerk get through her day. It must have been precisely what she needed. We salute her brother; we salute Jaime Nicholas.Nancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-48835300386406142332010-02-25T20:56:59.007-05:002010-02-25T20:56:59.007-05:00It's amazing to me how you go out and somehow ...It's amazing to me how you go out and somehow get something tiny but precious from a stranger.
