Well my friend I ask myself the other day how do I say good-bye to you, well I can't and I never will. Sitting there yesterday just watching all of the people that were there and all of us were friends because of you. Every one of us had a story with you. Because of you there is a group of people that have friends they will be able to call family. So my friend you rest now. Know that we will continue your traditions. I will miss seeing you, but now that you are just on break and we will talk again soon. Love you always.

The Dash by Linda Ellis copyright 1996
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.
So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile, remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s actions to rehash… would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent YOUR dash?

Well my friend not sure how to say good-bye. You have been a part of my life for 35 years. All the memories that I will treasure could fill a library. So thank you for them. You are going to be missed by many. The parties in Elkland will not be the same. So I am not going to say good-bye just I will see you again one day. Love you always.
