Dear Holly and Heather
My sympathy. Your mother sent this out, and I think it is beautiful, and she lived this, and I wanted to share this with you, in case she had not. So she will always be thought of with fond memories by all of her friends.
Subject: This is beautiful, Todays Thought
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they
will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents
will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. As
time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be
significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of
your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others
will go so unnoticed that we don't realize that they vacated their
seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy,
expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of
having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give
the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we
ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love,
forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this
because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat
empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will
continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give
lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey.
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.
