Hi Sane Forumites
Just wanted to start a thread where people can share quotes, poems or parts of literature that can help them get through the tough times.
Feel free to tag anyone.
My contribution today is from Oscar Wilde:
"What seems to us as bitter trial are often blessings in disguise"

I love that song so much @soul @Former-Member @MDT I want it played at my send-off. It has special meaning to me as the one child I raised has very low vision, yet I found myself by looking into their eyes.
