Wheeler family…especially‘Lilly, Jo & Mel and De’jhonia any who may remember …family is comfort, laughter, acceptance, unconditionally.
Struggle not with shortness of time , no . What matter when your eyes fell upon each other when strength was needed. Your help was needed and especially when you were young.
‘A quote to comfort , by author A. A. Milne ( modified )
‘ if ever a day comes and tomorrow for me is naught try not to cry, I am not.
Remember this you are braver, than you believe,
Stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think….
Remember the time…( “remember what is important” )
