#essay - If youre dealing with the loss of someone you love, think about the ripples theyve left behind. My father, Rubin Salmansohn, passed away 4 years ago, in the month of August. On the day he passed, my mother found a post-marked envelope in my dad’s bedroom bureau drawer - the date of which revealed that this was something I had mailed to my dad when I was still in college. Inside this envelope were a few pages torn from a book – who’s name I no longer remembered. My father had chosen to save this book’s clippings for so many years, that I became instantly highly curious to read what he’d saved. After reading it, well, I gotta say, its message seemed rather magically synchronicitous – to read this mysterious book clipping on the very day of my father’s passing. Its message was an invaluable one for dealing with the passing of someone close. Plus it was a rousing reminder for how we should live our lives daily. I loved this clipping so much, I read it at my dad’s eulogy. Ever since, I keep sharing this clipping - in honor of my father’s memory – and because I love the clipping’s message so very much. THE BOOK’S CLIPPING I SENT MY FATHER WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE: “Everything that is not given, is lost.” CLICK TO READ MORE AND FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO MAKE RIPPLES
