The wisdom of these words are comforting right now. I am hurting, but have already forgiven the person who hurt me. I do know in my heart that it was a very difficult choice for them, and one they didn't want to have to make. I will always love that person... that person will always hold a very special place in my heart. I just miss that person very much. Hamlak atas tayriw, always... whether you are in my life or not. Find happiness...create joy in your life, no matter what you have to do... Just be happy!!!
