Thank you. That reminded me of this one, somehow.

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain."
~Kahlil Gibran

I have also said something similar, and I truly believe it....."our pain is as deep as our love". I think we find this truth through our own loving. It is a hard one to learn, but the joy those little ones bring, and what they mean to our lives is far worth the price.
