| I'm sure many of you know what happened, but for
those of you who don't... Ashley's dad passed away early Saturday. (Hence
why I didn't update.) If you know Ashley and you want to attend her dad's
service, it will be held on Tuesday at 10:00 AM at Holy Cross Church. Even
if you didn't know her dad, I'm sure it would mean a lot to her if you
could come.
And just a repost from a few months ago:
-- And just like all other things, we too return to the ground. But
the ground is not the important thing, no. The events of our lives have
some significance, but in the big picture, they are also nothing. You see,
beneath all the pain and struggle and daily occurances of every life lies
something that defeats it all. And on a clear, crisp day, if you look at
someone in just the right light, you may be able to catch a glimpse of
the hidden emotion inside them. And this inner-peace we all store too returns
to the earth in death. But do not misunderstand me, for the spirit does
not die. The spirit of another or even of yourself can visit you once again
when you least expect it.. perhaps on a clear, crisp day, when you're looking
in the eyes of someone new and see the same glimmer you swear you saw once
before. And herein lies the truth about life: Nothing ever goes away...Nothing
that really matters, at least. --
...earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust...
