I am thrilled that your parents had so many years together, but sorry it couldn't have been longer.<br /><br />I was told four years ago that my illness could kill me 'pretty much when it felt like it'; the medication to improve my health is not without its own terrible side effects. I am learning, as time passes, to care less what people think of me (and my choices) and more about what my choices can do FOR others (rather than TO them.)rennratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258514296905380163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-31666337874722536682010-12-12T13:47:47.250-05:002010-12-12T13:47:47.250-05:00Well said!Well said!Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680607039602937329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-15403744282630423862010-12-12T10:57:45.639-05:002010-12-12T10:57:45.639-05:00There is a perfect quote you bring to my mind that...There is a perfect quote you bring to my mind that I will twist a bit...seems fitting...Life is not measured by the number of years we have.....BUT by our living it, and creating a vast number of memories along our journey. That's why to me it's so perfect when I read old letters or journals of loved ones, from their past whether to me or whoever, it plants images of loved ones within my soul! Great post Carmi!...hmmmm you are certainly on family this week aren't you?

You do them proud by passing on their core beliefs. I hope my husband and I make it to our 50th, a few years from now. We are lucky to have survived so far.<br /><br />I left my parents' house when I was seventeen and saw them only once more before their died. Their lives live in me, in my children, in my grandchildren, through our actions, our character, our stories we pass on.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-35568125440454605602010-12-12T10:17:10.607-05:002010-12-12T10:17:10.607-05:00As always, your words are so meaningful.

Death is a hard lesson at any age, now I have the fear of my mums partner time with her as he is having some major health problems. Time dosn't heal it just lessons the rawness.

It'll be defined by what we do with the time we've been given."</i><br /><br />18 years is admirable; 49 years is no less astonishing than 51. We need to do the best with whatever time we are given.<br />:)Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-13965713849564375812010-12-12T02:51:47.228-05:002010-12-12T02:51:47.228-05:00Uplifting friends, reaching out
