how I will spend my afternoon - being very thankful and ...remembering
Posted On 09/09/2008 14:27:12 by redhatqueen

I am off today with my husband to pay our final respects to a wonderful lady who died very suddenly of cancer. She had no symptoms and hadn't been ill. One day she was here, the next she was gone.

We will go to show her husband how she touched our lives and how special she was. Our support is so little to give, but we can not take away his pain. We will celebrate to wonderful life she lived, and reflect on our own.

It is a sad reminder that, as my husband always says: LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL

Today is a reminder that we must life each and every day as though it were our last. We must remember to tell our family and friends how much they mean to us and that we love them and APPRECIATE THEM.

I will give a silent prayer of thanks that it is not my memorial my family and friends are attending today and remind myself to appreciate all that I have and how fortunate I am to live in a free country, surrounded by friends and family, living in this very comfortable life style. I AM WEALTHY for all I have.

How well I know life is not a rehearsal and we have to make the most of each minute.  19 years ago tomorrow my husband and I were out taking a walk early in the a.m. and he dropped and was gone.  Your going to the service today WILL help your friend in his grief; oh, that more people would realize that grieving is a long process and we need every bit of strength we can get from our friends.  God bless you,  Gramma  Janice

How sad for all of you. I hope the bereaved husband will get some comfort from knowing that his wife avoided the torture that usually accompanies cancer. Thinking of you on this sad occasion,
