"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? 

How do you go on... 

when in your heart you begin to understand... 

there is no going back? 

There are some things that time cannot mend... 

some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold."

- from "The Lord of the Rings, Return of the King" 

These words have such meaning.  As I think back to 10 years ago... September 11, 2001; to 2 years ago and some of the most painful times we have been through and then my nephew's death in March, these words ring true.  As a friend of mine just said, there are things that are a "forever process".  Time does not heal all wounds.  We learn to adapt and adjust.  We learn to live with a limp.
