i wish i could put that sentence in a jar and release it when i visit my family. i have never been able to express it as well. thank you.

You really hit a nerve for me. I know exactly how you feel. There are times that I just sit and sob for the pain that others are going through. I pray that this pain (theirs and mine) will push me to do things that might positively impact someone else. So often it’s easier to close our eyes and try to make it all go away, but it doesn’t work that way does it?!
