There are some moments in life when it is time to gather around our loved ones and show them how much we care…

No matter how much effort it takes.

No matter how far you have to travel.

No matter how happy (or sad) the occasion might be.

No matter how many people will – or won’t – be there.

No matter how many other things you might have going on in your life.

Later, you will be happy and able to think back in time to gather those memories knowing they are the best parts of life. These are the moments that sustain the sadness, and make life worth living.
