Stories fill me Memories shared Emotions felt Witnessed Words assembled Convey a life 61 years in 15 minutes A splash of color here A gray area there A focal point Bring it all together As complex as A 1,000-piece puzzle As simple as sitting In the heart of love.
“Life is a song—sing it. Life is a game—play it. Life is a challenge—meet it. Life is a dream—realize it. Life is a sacrifice—offer it. Life is love—enjoy it.”
Sai Baba
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.”
Thucydides
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness but power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love.
Washington Irving
