Went to Kingston on Thanksgiving weekend- one of our traditions started many years ago, the Limestone capital for the weekend and it was a wonderful chance to get away and relax. The fall colours were lovely and we even enjoyed the colours on the drive home. This is beautiful season, probably my favourite even if it means that winter is coming.
Sadly, it reminds us that there is a season for everything. On Monday, a dear friend, Charlie passed away in his 97 year. A good age but we had expected that with his good health and vigour that he would reach his 100th birthday and we would have an extraordinary celebration. His brother is 101 years old. Charlie passed away peacefully and now is time to prepare for his farewell.
This will remind me and hopefully others to enjoy the Dash, a poem recited at a memorial that I attended on Friday. That dash between birth and death is very important, we must spend the time well.
Enjoy your dash!
