Death and Relations Can be Painful

Thoughts to Dwell On

As Mayor, I presided over the memorial service of a long-time employee. She would have been 65 on March 12.  Six months ago (even two months ago) no one could have told me that she would be dead today, but she is.  Believe it or not, her service today (in my opinion and many of those who attended (especially her family) thought that it was a very happy, but sorrowful occasion.  Her husband, Bob, had a few very personal moments, but even he got through the service with a smile as he spoke about the love of his life.

I am always prepared to learn, and Graciela's death was a lesson.  Today is not even yours so why put off for tomorrow, ANYTHING that you can do today.  A writer once said that yesterday is in the past,  today is the pr resent, and tomorrow is a mystery.  S/he had a point.  Today is a PRESENT.  Open and use it today!
