...the hardest pill to swallow. Thank you so much!
Insincere apologies, I believe are more hurtful than the reason for giving an apology in the first place. It's difficult to imagine that the giver is unaware of how hollow their apology is.

An apology may only be two words, but they come with a lot of weight. Thank you so much, Lydi!

I hope you are doing well. Enjoying this good day in Michigan and you are welcome Kelly.
I've been told that often enough that I don't mean my apologies.. Can one really see through the person speaking them out?
Even then, I can see the wisdom in your words, maybe there are such people...
