Well, since I already missed September, thought I’d do my October blog early. It’s been a trying couple of months for us. Unfortunately, we lost my dear sister-in-law, Karen (see picture), in September. She fought like hell, but just couldn’t beat it this time and the good Lord called her home. All those things I commented on in August still hold true today. There were a lot of tears and sad times but the awesomeness of this great lady showed in the remembrances of her from her family, friends and co-workers who knew her and worked with her for many years!! It truly made me smile amid the sadness to hear such wonderful stories of a life well lived and touched by many. When you are a teacher…you touch MANY lives. Karen was a kindred spirit and her memory will live on in the lives of her children and those she left behind. Rest in peace, Karen. We will always miss you and think of you fondly.
No matter how long we live in this world…as the country song by Conway Twitty goes: life is too short no matter how long it lasts! With that in mind, what are you doing to make your world a better place? Who have you touched in this world or helped along the way? What leadership skills are you showing and teaching others? Who is that woman in your life whose opinion you value that you haven’t taken the time to say “Thanks!” I encourage you to do that now before it’s too late. Let them know how much they’ve meant to you in your lifetime and more importantly, how much you’ve learned from them just by the way they live their life. Make yours worth living!
