Last year I lost my sister after a four year battle with cancer. I spent much of the last year of her life with her. This experience has taught me more about human dignity and grace than anything else. <BR/><BR/>More times than I can count, I have felt like I was in the presence of the Christ or Buddha, when I looked upon her. What filled me with the most wonder was her smile, her ability to think about the comfort of others, their feelings and needs, while this disease ravaged her body with such ferocity.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry for your loss, but happy and grateful for the beautiful memories and blessings you carry within you for having known Duncan and your other loved ones. They are with you, as I know my sister is with me.<BR/><BR/>What's so wonderful is that their lives continue to bless others, not only through the seeds they, themselves planted, but by the open hearts of those who loved them and who share their memories and inspiration with others.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing yours.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Demian,<BR/> ~DreamSingerDemian Yumeihttp://www.keepingthedream.comnoreply@blogger.com
