“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind." - Lionel Hampton


I am grateful to be able to share in people's difficulty and pain. Empathy was not a character trait that came easily for me until my parents passed away. Now I seem to feel a persons sorrow even if the trial they are having is not something I have experienced. I feel blessed to have this trait. I hope that I can be of some comfort to those who need it and am so grateful to those friends who showed me empathy throughout my life.
