Memories.
Sometimes we don't realize how very special they are, until a tragedy brings them into focus.
In the past
few years, I have experienced this "treasure chest" of memories
several times over, and am so thankful to have them, both the good and the bad,
for they all are part of what we had, and have helped pattern our lives. We
spend our lives making memories of all kinds. Some more special than
others and make us happier, but we have them all.
Whether we remember things from
growing up or the joy and delight of a recent trip or experience, memories can
be the greatest treasure and comfort. When times get hard it is comforting to
pull strength from those special memories and maybe even divert our attentions
for awhile with more pleasant thoughts.
That is what I hope our families
can feel from the wishes we grant. That they are the treasured
memories that will bring them lasting joy and comfort as they remember them
over the years.
I would like to think that maybe the memories help
to give them some strength to make it through another day. 'The clouds will
come, the wind will blow, and the sun will shine,' and while we may not be able to keep
the clouds away, maybe our wishes give a little bit of sunshine along the
way.
