As with your father this post seems to me, who didn't know them, like a wonderful appreciation of them.<br />I too have nearly abandoned my blog. But blogs I think can offer something that nothing else does. So I'm very happy to hear that you are returning to yours!Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194161742476128031.post-52640321600284803352016-07-31T19:08:19.957-04:002016-07-31T19:08:19.957-04:00Bravo Ellen!

I am inspired by your posts and eagerly look forward to learning from your knowledge and wisdom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055296221172622380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194161742476128031.post-200310251487954952016-07-31T13:25:56.547-04:002016-07-31T13:25:56.547-04:00Ellen, first of all my sincerest condolences to yo...Ellen, first of all my sincerest condolences to you on the loss of your mother.<br />You chose to quote what I feel is a very appropriate passage from Tom's recent posting regarding the death of Atticus. The sentiment he expressed seems to go hand-in-hand with words written long ago by William Wordsworth: “Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind . . ."<br /><br />And lastly, it's terrific that you have decided to resume your blogging. I say that not only because your decision is influenced by heartfelt respect your mother, but also because there are folks like me who truly enjoy your postings.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
