about surviving loss.

Life seems
sometimes like nothing more
than a series of losses,

How you respond
to those losses,
what you make
of what’s left,
that’s the part
you have to make up
as you go.

been translated into thirteen foreign languages)
It’s not the winning

Sometimes a loss
is the best thing
that can happen.
It teaches you
what you should
have done next time.

does not change you.

someone
who gave you
so much to remember.
