The Circle of LIfe

I am constantly amazed at the never ending circle of life. Yesterday was February 23, 2010, I eargerly awaited all day the birth of my fellow hallmate of Alcatraz her miracle twins, and I found that someone at my College had passed away. These two little boys were downstairs ( my hallmate and I were both sentecnced to hospital bedrest around the same time an ironically I knew her) but my fellow Collegegian who lived a full life died. I am so amazed that we are born and then we do eventually die, but what I want to make so clear to myself, my family and espcially my daughter is that you have to be strong to be born because so many are lost so early on, but it is not just enough to be born, you have to do somethig with that life, I only want to live life with as little regret as possible, and to make a difference in the world. Do I think I will find the cure for cancer-no, but I do think that those who I come in contact with I can try to make a lasting impression so that both they are a little better than when I found them and that I am too. As your Mama always said you are the company that you keep, so keep good company.
