I really adore quotes. Words of wisdom. Smart statements.
I can still remember the look on my dad's face - calm, wise, compassionate - when he shared this quote with me. We were on a father-daughter date, a tradition I started as a Father's Day gift, after I was married. Our dates - the few we had before life got in the way - always included some pretty deep conversations. On this occasion, we talked about the hardships we face in life ... losing a loved one, battling an illness, making tough decisions, ... it was heavy. I think I had even started to cry, feeling overwhelmed ... feeling like life was just too hard. My dad reached across the table and with a smile on his lips and a tear in his eye, quoted Robert Frost ...
In three words I can sum up
everything I've learned about life:
it goes on.
In my heart and mind, those are words to live by.
I can't help but share a photo of me and my daddy ... yes, I look just like him :)
