“If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.

 This is my wish for everyone always.

 May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Irish blessing

Friendship and tolerance can also be learned from the example of our non-human friends as well as our human family and friends .  

We are all created equals but under different circumstances. We do not get to choose where we will be born, who our parents will be or if we will will be rich or poor etc..... Not all of us have the same privileges in life. There is no need for discrimination or hatred.  Let us understand and help each other. Let there be peace on earth for everyone,  especially now.  

The very nature of kindness is to spread.  If you are kind to others they will be kind to you and tomorrow to somebody else.

Let there be Peace on Earth for everyone. Our sad world is full of hate and destruction and loss of countless lives everywhere.   We must heal our world.
