No One Stands Alone While we all walk through this unfamiliar world, longing for the one we once knew, not sure if she will ever return, may we see how both her beauty and ruggedness forged us, preparing us for such a time as this. Let us not forget who we are, what we are made of, the beauty around us and the many opportunities to inspire and elevate others that greet us daily. Together let’s lift our eyes up, so we may see the needs around us, lend a hand or encouraging word and ensure no one stands alone. Together we are strong beyond measure.
