Sharing emotions

In a letter to the editor of the Mishpacha magazine, a reader wrote the following which caught my attention.

Another thought, shared by a friend of mine who underwent a major tzaar. At the time of his suffering, he was inundated with visitors and mechanchim, who came en masse, many from far away, to sit with him and comfort him. He appreciated the outpouring of nesia b'ol and how each one took the time and effort to really participate and feel his pain.
Some time later, he merited making a simcha and again, many people came. "But this time," he told me, "I felt like their hearts weren't in it. They were coming to be yotzei, not to share in my emotions.

May we merit to share many happy occasions with friends and share their joy with heartfelt emotion.
