Watching the news of the last few days regarding the horrific wildfires in the hills of LA has once again brought me to a realization of the fleeting and transitory nature of life. Although distraught at the sudden loss of beautiful homes and all material possessions, most victims also express profound gratitude that they and their families were able to escape with their lives.
None of us knows when tragedy will strike, either personally or macro scale. But events like those taking place in LA hopefully serve as a reminder of what is of greatest value in life - family and friends. All the rest (I've heard it said) is merely "junk, on the way to the junkyard."

this is probably going to be more common then not! Hopefully because of yours and others in our class with these tender losses. Now is a good time for all of us to try to mend any differences we have with our syblings and or close ones. And remember the things that bonded you together in the past. And try and reflect on the fun and good times we had with them. Again our prayers are with you and your family with the loss of your sister!! May she Rest in Peace!!!
