My dear Tom, Delighted to get your letter. Do write again. This life is terrible and I don't understand how it can be endured.
Not everyone is meant to stay forever.
Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever.
That is what touches me most. When somebody says: you really made a difference.
If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future.
Nothing is forever, but there's a continuing stream of people who go through our lives and continue with us. . . Nothing just stops and stays. . . But it flows on. . . Like a river.
