Perspective

Time To Remember by David Bancroft

While this time of year is about celebrating and bringing in a new year, it should also be spent . .  . remembering our loved ones and friends who are no longer with us.

I am not talking about feeling sad or sorry, but remembering what it was like sharing this time of the year with them.

Remember . . .

  • A smile when opening a much wanted gift
  • The look of delight from an unexpected gift
  • A giggle
  • A simple hug
  • Always being there when needed
  • Reading to them
  • A quick kiss or hand shake of hello or thanks
  • Helping in the kitchen
  • Watching a sporting event
  • Going shopping
  • Playing a favorite card or board game
  • Playing golf, tennis, or other sporting activities together
  • Being watched performing on the field, court, or floor
  • Proudly watching them perform
  • Sitting at the dinner table on a special day
  • A loving smile
  • A reassuring pat
  • The sound of their voice
  • The smell of them as they lean against you
  • Hearing I love you

So take comfort as you celebrate this time of the year with “all” your loved ones and friends . . . and have a rewarding 2002!
