A Remembrance

Василий Жуковский

ВОСПОМИНАНИЕ
О милых спутниках, которые наш свет
Своим сопутствием для нас животворили,
Не говори с тоской: их нет;
Но с благодарностию: были.
1821

About dear companions, who have made our world
Come more alive with their companionship,
Do not say with longing, "They are no more,"
But rather say with gratitude, "They have been."

(Vasily Zhukovskiy, 1821)

Thank you. This is so very true. I do try to think of happy moments all the time, but it was so hard yesterday. But thank you.

You are most welcome; that one is an old favourite of mine.
