Gone

I just read Barb's post on Granny Mary. It got me thinking of many things and people I have lost. There are so many people that enter our lives (wether through circumstance or family), they often go unnoticed, but if they touch our lives. If they are truly extroidanary we will never forget them. The comfort is in remembering the times spent together or the amazing conversations. This reminds me of this great quote...

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today,
life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that
you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles
these three things:
A rainy day,
Lost luggage, and
Tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a
life.
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt
on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I
usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and
touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a
friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel."

I hope this can impact you as much as it did me... Have a great week everyone!
