THE DASH by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning... to the end.
He noted that first came the date of 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 they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them 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 still can be rearranged.
To 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 lived your dash?

I'm so sorry to hear of Mrs. Kyle's passing! I was fortunate to have her as my 6th grade teacher at Conant Elementary, I believe it was her first year at the school. She was by far one of my favorite teachers! She was kind, generous, and fun, but also knew how to keep everyone in line. For many years after, I would bump into her around Concord and she always remembered me. She was certainly one of a kind and special! She will certainly be missed!
