“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~Buddha
It’s a fact of life that people are born and people die. It just really sucks when the gift of life is lost tragically. As such, we mourn, we celebrate, we cry, we laugh, we do everything we need to do to move forward. We move forward for those who no longer can and honor their lives by doing so.
Safety reminder:
- When you’re out and about, when there is a presence of moving vehicles, practice being hyper alert and aware because someone out there will not be and it’ll be that person who is behind a wheel.
- When pushing a stroller and stopped at a cross-walk, keep yourself, and especially the child in the stroller, as far from the street as much as possible.
Dedication:
Celeste, Thank you for being that single candle used to light many with happiness. Your light continues to be shared. Your friend, Ruel.
