...I found your blog through Ladybird World Mother.<br /><br />I once met an old man while hiking on one of the most rugged and difficult sections of the Appalachian Trail. He was about 85 years old, hiking by himself, and he stopped and ate lunch with me. We chatted for awhile, and then as we parted ways, he turned back to me and said, "Live life every day until it kills you."<br /><br />I've never forgotten his words of wisdom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010292945051206859.post-91061747886932075662010-01-23T18:46:47.736-08:002010-01-23T18:46:47.736-08:00Thank you Bernie for passing that story and messag...Thank you Bernie for passing that story and message along to us.

I visited her in Ohio a few weeks ago - she insisted on going home (she was in hospital first, then a nursing home), so we conceded and got her situated at home. A home care worker is going there 3x week, and she has several friends (and my son) who stop by also. So far, she is going ok, but I fear she has perhaps become disengaged with life.<br /><br />So I think this story would be wonderful for her to watch also!Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010292945051206859.post-52939053714168707822010-01-20T22:16:45.104-08:002010-01-20T22:16:45.104-08:00"Several had had last rites and they joked ab..."Several had had last rites and they joked about not seeing the white light."<br /><br />I thought this sentence most interesting.
