A slight change
in the order of Charles Dickens’ famous quote in A Tale of Two Cities
suits the
situation.
Today my little
sister would have turned 61, had not grim cancer spirited her away.
Today my nephew
Eric celebrated with near friends and family the beginning of
his and Sara’s
wedding weekend.
We are a sum of
all that we have seen and experienced: formed by an
accumulation of the events
that we have lived, both sad and happy.
May there always
be joyous moments to compensate for the sorrowful,
the best of times to outweigh the
worst of times.
Thank you Sara
and Eric
– we can now remember the date with gladness to temper the sadness.
