In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all. It can come often with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible-except with time. As of now you can't believe that you will ever feel better.
But, this is not true.
You are sure to be happy again.
Knowing this, and truly believing it, will make you less miserable now.
Because...
As we speak-George is watching from heavan.
This will become a comfort to us all.
