- This was an excellent response, thanks Kate! Sometimes we are so self-centered
- that we forget that other people share in our lives. There are many times I
- have been denied the opportunity to share in someone else's experience because
- I was not given the chance to support them through a struggle, and congratulate
- them on the success.
-
- Life is to short and relationships to important to not recognize people's
- struggles and successes! And you're so right, we don't have to think it was
- a good thing, just that they did it and they are proud of it.
