Comfort Quote by Nar-Anon FGH Inc
““Oh, the comfort — the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person — having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” - Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859””
