Thankfully, a tender mercy from heaven to be sure, we do time to say goodbye.

**************

I was listening to the soundtrack to "Wicked" today while I set up stuff in my classroom (not knowing what will happen next week, when I'm actually supposed to be there, I was doing bulletin boards and stuff today) and a few lines from "For Good" really stuck out to me and made me cry:

 I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you



 It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart



***********
I know we'll get through this and I know there's a divine plan at work and we will all be ok, no matter what happens or how quickly it happens.

Love that song from Wicked and still cry whenever I hear it. You are correct that HF has a plan, that we are loved and we can get through anything. Love to you and all. You are all my heroes.

It should have said God be with you, yet good should be with you as well!
