Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Jaylink--your quote from Dean was a wonderful contribution. Thank you. Harold, you are the Undisputed King of Inspiration, and I always look forward to your posts. Here is something that appeared in my mailbox today, and I thought it might be worth sharing: Hope everyone has a great day--and makes the most of every moment. : " An elderly man, in the final days of his life, is lying in bed alone. He : awakens to see a large group of people clustered around his bed. Their : faces are loving, but sad. Confused, the old man smiles weakly and : whispers, 'You must be my childhood friends, come to say good-bye. I am so : grateful.' Moving closer, the tallest figure gently grasps the old man's : hand and replies, 'Yes, we are your best and oldest friends, but long ago : you abandoned us. For we are the unfulfilled promises of your youth. We : are the unrealized hopes, dreams and plans that you once felt deeply in your : heart, but never pursued. We are the unique talents that you never refined, : the special gifts you never discovered. Old friend, we have not come to : comfort you, but to die with you.'
