　　It was amazing to see your dance performance last weekend. I felt so proud of you when your teacher and schoolmates congratulated you upon your completion of the performance.

　　When you're feeling very proud of yourself at an achievement, knowing no bounds at that moment, remember that “Tiffs, too, shall pass away.”

　　When you're at a difficult moment in your life and don't know what to do, find comfort in the same words-" This, too, shall pass away. "

　　I' m not saying that the ache of some losses and setbacks will completely go away from your life. In fact, often the memories of painful events will hit you unexpectedly like tons Of bricks and take your breath away years after they happen.

　　But, like all humans, you have an almost infinite capacity to adapt to life's changes and a great ability to bounce back from trying times. This understanding should give you a spark of hope when you're in a season of despair; it should also build up your confidence for taking risks in the future.

　　Sally, our lives are made up of several peaks and several valleys. That's the nature of life. Live each moment as it comes. And always remember “This, too, shall pass away.”

　　Love,

　　Papa
