Nevertheless...

After delivering my thought of the day, I was very happy knowing that I got the chance to express how I felt about my friends while they were there with me. Amit wasn't able to join us that morning, but when we met him later for dinner he insisted that I read the entire tribute again. And once again the tears flowed. Eric was very sweet and said that since I was the only one who wasn't toasted in the thought that they should go around the table adding one word each to a thought about me. I was very embarrassed as they went around because they were saying such nice things about me. That is, of course, until they got to Cobie, who, just as my toast reached a crescendo of appreciation, cracked everyone up with her classic addition of the word "Nevertheless." I love that woman.
