I've been marveling at your passion for living each day to its fullest. Since July 6th, I have watched you forge ahead every day to make the most of each day. I know it's not easy for you and during the last 3 months you have adjusted and grown to find a new way of being. I am in awe of your zest for life as well as your acceptance to whatever the future holds.<br /><br />luv ya!ann mcnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533153675735572266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514668970710693849.post-77172128906021033812009-10-07T08:44:40.964-04:002009-10-07T08:44:40.964-04:00A while ago, Kirk read a passage to me from his fa...A while ago, Kirk read a passage to me from his favorite modern philosopher (Robert Nozick) on the fear of death. Roughly translated, it said: "think back to the beginning of life, before you existed and the vast, unknowing darkness then. Are you afraid of that? Then why would you be afraid of the same at the end of life, after you cease to exist?" Somehow, this added perspective to the issue for me. Not that I am sanguine--I will not go gently into that good night--but I am learning.Lisa Ruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060848377109602327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514668970710693849.post-83382913595984121882009-10-06T17:31:57.902-04:002009-10-06T17:31:57.902-04:00Happy Birthday, Sis!

You, my friend, do not have a 'little life' - you dance big, making the most of every opportunity. In the 30 some years I've known you, you have always used the whole floor. Happy Birthday, Mary - you are a kick ass inspiration!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310338161281374051noreply@blogger.com
