Muenkel 0 #1 March 11, 2003 My Aunt Ruthie died last night. I can't tell you how much this woman meant to me. She was only 67. She was in a wheelchair for 42 years due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. She never lost her sense of humor or her spirit. Always positive and laughing. Because of her, as a little kid, I was never afraid of handicapped people. I remember her always answering my little kid questions about her disease. Her last name was Horr. She used to always say that she was the only woman who had to get married to become a "Horr." That memory still makes me laugh. This is a hard one. My world is a little darker today. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #24 March 12, 2003 Hey folks, thanks again for the vibes. It really does help.Anyway, I wanted to share something a friend of mine emailed to me upon the news of my Aunt's death. I think it is very profound. Isn't this the truth ........ REALIZE To realize the value of ten years: Ask a newly divorced couple. To realize the value of four years: Ask a graduate. To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realize the value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize the value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize the value of one second: Ask a person who has survived an accident. To realize the value of one millisecond: Ask a person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics. To realize the value of a friend: Lose one. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have, when you can share it with someone special.
