The closing of a door

"We live a time secure; beloved and loving, sure it cannot last for long...then--the goodbyes come again--again--like a small death, the closing of a door. One learns to live with pain. One looks ahead, not back--never back, only before. And joy will come again--warm and secure, if only for the now, laughing, we endure." --Ruth Bell Graham, from Sitting by my Laughing Fire.
