My darling son looked up at me, his eyes were moist and his face was troubled. I leaned in close and asked what was wrong. "Junior will never know Aunt Margaret. She was such a great lady." We were at a memorial service for a great aunt who had passed on. She was a Christian lady who was known for her hard work and many good deeds in her church, many of which her family and friends were reflecting. My son was very moved by this outpouring of gratitude for the life that this lady had lead.

Everyday we have a choice to be a great person or not. We have the choice to go out of our way and make a difference for others. Yes, Aunt Margaret is passed on, and so have many other great people, but we don't have to miss out on the great people that are still here. And we can be a great person ourselves. And we will never forget those great people that have brought us here.

By the way Junior is officially a BOY!!!

Love, A.!
