Claudia, At some point in our lives, we all realize that we won't live forever. Some of us, however, won't come to terms with our life the way you have as you wrote these touching words. You have shown us how to fight for each precious moment of life but at the same time, gracefully plan for a time when you will leave the people in your life who care so much about you. Reflecting on the words you wrote, I want to add that it isn't the final days of a person's life that matter the most. It is the days that led up to that point. What matters are the days we spend as children, the dreams we dare to dream along the way, the bonds that we make with other people and the memories we leave behind. We grow and change as we fight both physical and emotional battles and we can either hide our scars or wear them for all the world to see and learn from. You have chosen to display your battles proudly and show us how we can find the strength to do that in our own lives. You have taught us how to take every existing moment and fill it with love and kindness. Our dear Claudia, as long as any of us are among the living, you, your dreams and your spirit will be alive too! We love you! Dianna To read Claudia's letter, click here. |
