In the midst of people sounding Happy in the glorious Sun the UK has had this last week, today was tinged with sadness.
I was privileged to be asked to say my goodbyes to my dear Friends Mum today.
At 92 years of age she has put off death for a long time and even now, refuses to give up life easily.
She is part of a generation that has seen so much and suffered so much.
Death is an enemy that leaves sadness and emptiness.
I remember it well when my own Mum and Dad died within 9 months of each other.
I used to struggle understanding the saying that the end of life was more important than the beginning but death reveals the reason.
What we accomplish comes with the accumulation of time. Our family grows, we share special Love and others have much to remember us by. That helps.
I will support my Friend as best I am able.
We all leave our marker and hopefully there are many who care about us.
It strikes me that we should use our time to get close to those special people in our lives.
More Importantly...tell them they are special.
That eliminates at least one potential regret.
