Patricia, Steven and the Brack Clan:
Life has a way of accelerating, as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I plan on" and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? You see, we waited too long to make that phone call to Grace, all wrapped up in living, you know. How heavy it sits on our hearts now.
Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Instead, take the time and just call to say "Hi"?
“You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.”
Grace is always in our thoughts, and we have some really fond memories which will live on.
In reflection, it doesn’t seem like that annual Christmas card was not nearly enough to express how much knowing her meant to me or how she touched my life.
I am so sorry for your loss, as it is a loss to all of us who had the privilege of knowing her.
