There was a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on his tombstone from the beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of his birth and spoke the following date with tears. But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash stands for all the time that he spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved him know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own; The cars the house the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard. Are there things youd like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider whats true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel. Wed be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like weve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So when your eulogy is being read with your life’s actions to rehash would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash? Because that dash stands for all the time that you spent alive on earth and only those who loved you know what that little line is worth It matters not how much you own the cars the house the cash what matters is how you live and love and how you spend your dash I read this poem and thought of Timmy. He has touched so many peoples lives. Along with Timmy being funny, he was the most caring, selfless person. Anyone who talked to Timmy or knew him even for only a short while could tell he lived his life to please others. The memory of him will always make me smile. Until we meet again.
