THE DASH

I read of a man who stood to speak,
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone,
From the beginning to the end.

He noted that first came the date of his birth,
And spoke of the following date with tears.
But he said what mattered most of all,
Was the dash between those years.

For it matters not how much we own,
The carsthe homesthe cash.
What mattes is how we live and love,
And how we spent our dash.

So

THE DASH

I read of a man who stood to speak,
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone,
From the beginning to the end.

He noted that first came the date of his birth,
And spoke of the following date with tears.
But he said what mattered most of all,
Was the dash between those years.

For it matters not how much we own,
The carsthe homesthe cash.
What mattes is how we live and love,
And how we spent our dash.

So think about this long and hard,
Are there still things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.

If you could just slow down enough,
To consider what's true and real.
And always try to understand,
The way other people feel.

To be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more.
And love the people in our lives,
Like we've never loves before.

If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering this special dash,
Might only last a little while.

So when your eulogy is being read,
With your life's actions in rehash,
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

I recall Janet and Mike telling me that many people had told them that Nicolas was blessed to have them as parents; however, it was the opposite in their eyes. They were the ones blessed by having Nicholas in their lives. Your family is an inspiration to many, Mike and Janet. Thank you both for choosing to pass his life unto others. Nicholas was a blessing during his life and in passing. Our thoughts have been with your family daily.

I now picture Nicholas up above with no physical restraints: laughing, flipping and transforming into everything Harry Potter, and enjoying every second of it!

I just wanted to say that all of us at Springhill Medical Center are thinking of you both at this very sad time. We will miss seeing his warm happy face around the office! He had such a fulfilling life thanks to the two of you! For all that Nick could not do here on earth I have to smile thinking that he is in Heaven right now running and jumping and speaking to the Lord! May God bless you

Tho we have never met Mike and his wife or little Nick we feel as tho we have met thru emails and photos which we have passed back and forth over the years.. Nick was and is a beautiful little boy who we will never forget for his love of life and for the joy he he spread to those whose lives he touched. It is fitting that such an exceptional child should spend his brief life with exceptional people
