I have to say I have been remiss in blogging the past few weeks. The flu hit my family hard a couple of weeks ago coupled with the death of my mother-in-law, Delphene Barrow.
I will keep this post short with a tribute to Del. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother, and she was always very kind to me for the 25+ years I knew her. She was a strong person who put her family and friends first in her life. During the funeral service, some of her friends described their friendships with Del and how she affected their lives. As I reflected upon the service and the comments made, it reminded me that in our relationships with others in this world, we can have a very profound influence on others' lives, and that we may never know the extent of that impact. And at the risk of sounding cliche, I was also reminded that life is way too short, and thus we must embrace our purpose for being in this world and live our lives to the fullest.
