Of course, we’re all thinking about you today Mom. Our thoughts made all the more wistful knowing that your dear nephew Gene was also put to rest in Ipswich, England early today.
Thanks for all you did for me, our family, and other people and animals in life, and what your memory continually inspires with the passing of years.

If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people, maintaining the proportions of all people living on Earth, that village would consist of:
There would be:
6 people would possess 59% of the wealth and all would come from the USA
If we looked at the world this way, the need for acceptance and understanding would be obvious.
But, consider the following :
If you woke up this morning in good health, you have more luck than one million people who won’t live through the week.
If you have never experienced the horror of war, the solitude of prison, the pain of torture, were not close to death from starvation, then you are better off than 500 million people.
If you can go to your place of worship without fear that someone will assault or kill you, then you are luckier than 3 billion (that’s right) people.
If you have a full fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are wealthier than 75% of the world’s population.
If you currently have money in the bank, in your wallet and a few coins in your purse, you are one of 8 of the privileged few amongst the 100 people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married, you’re a rare individual.
If someone sent you this message, you’re extremely lucky, because someone is thinking of you and because you don’t comprise one of those 2 billion people who can’t read.
And so,
Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like nobody ever hurt you.
Dance like nobody is watching.
Sing like nobody is listening.
Live as if this was paradise on Earth.
Share this message with your friends.
Bypass those who are determined to see the worst in the world no matter what.
If you don’t send it, nothing will happen. If you do, someone might smile while reading it, and that will be a positive.
And apart from the above, have a nice day.
