In the words of Gandolf

"I will not say do not weap, because not all tears are evil." That was the title of Sam's sermon on Sunday. He quoted the wizard Gandolf from "Lord of the Rings." These are the words that Gandolf gave to Frodo's friends as the hobbit sailed off into the horizon, and left them on the shore.

There is so much truth in these words. I think about my little babies in the NICU... whenever I have to put an IV in (which can be a very painful procedure, even with the sucrose water, which I like to call their "candy")I tell them to cry it all out... "tell me exactly how you feel about this" I say to the sweet little ones. They need their tears.
