I&#39;m greatly pleased to have said something that brings you comfort in your current need. I urge you to indulge your yearning to write. This may be the time to put into words your feelings about your grandmother.<br /><br />smiles,<br />rbRobert Braulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-53332292338199839242010-01-18T23:37:52.736-08:002010-01-18T23:37:52.736-08:00Robert, <br />I found your site through Quote Garden.. I am so glad that I did! I am going through a very difficult time right now, currently losing my Grandmother to lung cancer. We have always been very close. Lately, I find myself looking for inspiration from others words.. I hope to be a writer someday, I have so much inside me that is yearning to get out! This site brought comfort to me tonight. Thank you for creating it. I believe I am not the only one to find joy and laughter and honesty in your words... <br /><br />I will most certainly be back :)<br />JessicaJessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133112578326449950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-34606768423668266432009-12-02T22:28:56.793-08:002009-12-02T22:28:56.793-08:00I love to get my way. :)<br /><br />I think that was one of the nicest compliments I have ever received.Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16746936407430428943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-63857259627852334022009-12-02T14:29:44.778-08:002009-12-02T14:29:44.778-08:00Randi,<br />As a friend of this blog, you are a perfect joy. Every writer dreams of having an understanding critic who sniffs out his every intent and makes sense of it all. Faulkner was a forgotten writer in 1947 when Malcolm Cowley wrote The Portable Faulkner, revealing to the world, and to Faulkner himself, the ongoing saga of Yoknapatawpha County. If you have your way, you will make this quotesmith a social commentator yet. <br /><br />thanks,<br />rbRobert Braulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-69894858286657813152009-12-02T12:10:14.911-08:002009-12-02T12:10:14.911-08:00&quot;The first thing a child learns in school is to stop asking questions that can&#39;t be answered.&quot; The sad truth. Home-school, I say!<br /><br />&quot;You should explain your reasons to a child as if the child had to explain them to God.&quot; Wow. Because children are our ultimate witnesses. <br /><br />&quot;In assembling the universal jigsaw puzzle, man has yet to find a side piece.&quot; God chuckles because he is holding all the side pieces for those who think to ask him.<br /><br />&quot;No matter what the political system, its end is always its own preservation, and its means is always you.&quot; You are indeed my husband&#39;s twin.<br /><br />&quot;No one who has to use a football analogy to explain life will ever get to first base in life.&quot; I laughed at this one but felt it deserved a longer comment than simply LOL.<br /><br />&quot;To err is human, to forgive does not get you the settlement that we at Suskind, Marberry and Callahan feel you&#39;re entitled to.&quot; I laugh all the time at the commercials of our local wrongful injury lawyers. They almost seem gleeful as they tell you that you don&#39;t have to suffer. Make someone else pay! Then they have the smiling testimonials. &quot;I got $50,000!&quot; &quot;I got $100,000!&quot; <br /><br />Had spaghetti Saturday.

It falls well short of your own artistry. But I should be able to &quot;burn brightly&quot; for a while, because I&#39;m clearly burning the candle at only one end.<br /><br />Anon,<br />I was thinking just the other day that this blog could use another Kimrey. Welcome, both. What is glory? You ask easy questions. I&#39;ll respond when I have an easy answer.<br /><br />smiles,<br />rbRobert Braulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-20125100261310889212009-12-01T20:07:34.888-08:002009-12-01T20:07:34.888-08:00Robert, I do declare you are one of the most enjoyable thinkers I&#39;ve encountered. You&#39;re right. Tim (above) is my son. I told him about you and knew he&#39;d appreciate your approach. He thinks. I&#39;m very proud of him. Glad you&#39;re back. This is really &quot;good stuff!&quot; donkimrey. <br />P.S. On my blog I&#39;ve been contemplating the meaning of a familiar phrase in one of the Christmas stories, i.e. &quot;the glory of the Lord shone round about them...&quot; What is &quot;glory?&quot; I&#39;d love to hear your thoughts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-49412570280346512052009-12-01T13:48:46.483-08:002009-12-01T13:48:46.483-08:00Hi Robert<br />&quot;Eventually you realize that your mother knows exactly who you are and has been trying to break it to you gently all your life.&quot;<br />What a quote! I love the politician one too! How you manage to encapsulate truth with a few priceless words is a gift every bit as inspirational as the greatest of artists. I hope you burn as brightly for many years to come.Ken Devinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-35665036066518468352009-12-01T09:50:42.412-08:002009-12-01T09:50:42.412-08:00Simply,<br /><br />Welcome.
