2. Your life has touched and changed every person who you came in contact with,

including me, and in turn changed how they were toward others.

Perhaps you only held a door for a frazzled Mom, or dropped a dollar on a panhandler that didn't look "professional". Perhaps you stopped across two lanes to let someone's pet cross the street safely. Perhaps you wrote a letter to someone at just the right time or gave a family member what they needed and that was passed on. Perhaps you yelled when you saw an injustice, or walked a picket line, or sent in an op-ed letter that was published. Perhaps you wore something unexpected and made someone smile.

We all fit into it somehow and energy is never destroyed just transformed. I don't have any hard expectations other than life is a circle and we are part of that circle, forever.

Take care of yourself. Loss of family is a physical and spiritual blow to anyone who loves but it does slowly become bittersweet memory and makes room for the good, and the not so good, in life you have yet to live.
