Our words can release life even during a funeral. Powerful! I didn't know Nick but reading his story made me think of some of the wisest words ever spoken to me. "I won't judge you by your worst moment if you won't judge me by mine". Praying for your family...Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06170231693230777411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041704694353454719.post-61378045816633577062009-04-04T19:47:00.000-05:002009-04-04T19:47:00.000-05:00Powerful. This really hits home. A coworker of mine recently committed suicide. He was struggling even being educated and successful.<BR/><BR/>How we remember a person is so often colored by how the facts are packaged. The right words can move our hearts.<BR/><BR/>Your gift, being a wordsmith, is one of power, and obligation. It's neat though even with your experience that you can still learn lessons about it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that when I pass, someone will use words in the way you've described here.<BR/><BR/>Hugs.Todd Jordan - tojosanhttp://toddrjordan.com/thebroadbrushnoreply@blogger.com
