@nacredambition,
This particular choice may perhaps be found by future generations as a trifle eccentric, but the mere fact of it: the prodigal, pure, human kindness of it must be seen as a beautiful star in that firmament which shines upon us at this moment, dazzling a little, but filling us with warmth and the extraordinary elation, the euphoria that happens to so many of us at the first breath of the majestic glow of a new tomorrow.
From the top of this moment, in the solace, in the kindly emotion that is charging our souls and hearts at this moment, we are thankful for this great gift which lends me such a very splendid part in this, our glorious occasion.
