Make the "dash" count...

Standing at my loved ones graves, looking at the dates, it hit me. Everything about them summed up by a birthdate, a dash, and a date of death. How can something like a insignifacant "dash" represent an entire life? I thought about that as I plucked a few weeds and laid the flowers. Scrapbooking and documenting our lives is so very important. I vow to get better at it. I want my family to know my faults, my quirks, my kindness. I want them to know me - beyond a simple dash and a couple of dates. But even more than that. With or without scrapbooking, I want my dash to count. I want my life to matter. Here's to making that dash count!

Hope everyone remembers their loved ones this weekend and always. God bless.

  3. Your so sweet! I have been thinking about my Dad who has passed, and plan on making a scrapbook just for him, after reading your message I feel even more motivated to do it for him!

  4. I agree with you. I try to educate my only kid on the importance of it but I do not know if I will be successful or not.

    Hugs!
