Lost another friend today.

J, Lifting up his family in prayer as well as those of the other friends you have lost. You are in mine as well. This is a lot to endure in a short amount of time. I know you are strong but it never hurts to have added strength sent your way. So I am sending some. Hugs, T

If it won't matter in 5 years don't give it more than 5 minutes.

At one of the last memorial services I went to, a friend I hadn't seen in a long time mentioned that we used to go to each other's weddings, then the birthdays of our kids, then to their high school graduation, etc. As we said our goodbyes, we each told the other, "See you at the next funeral."

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Tara, thanks so much, their family is extremely religious, so I feel like prayers are worth 2x than normal circumstances.

I hate to include any indefinable on the web, but Justin had a presence that would brighten any room, and a heart of gold. He was humorous and a unexpected laddies man.
