Quite often when I am leaving I am told: Thank you for coming. <br /><br />Any suggestions on how to respond? <br /><br />You're welcome doesn't make any sense. <br />It's my pleasure is a lie and inappropriate. <br />It's my duty smacks of non-desire to be there. <br />Because it's my honor seems to be the best response, but seems a bit too aruthurian. Only for simchas is a good one, but doesn't convey the idea that I came to honor the dead person and comfort the living. <br /><br />Any other thoughts?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11285772-111018449809221134?l=theshiva.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
