you are all so wise on here that you have probably all heard of "the Dash" poem but for those that havent can I suggest that you google this little poem and read it.
It is now quite famous and is read out at funerals a lot - my friends husband died last year (he was only 52) and she read it out
I loved it that much I printed a copy out and have on my office wall and I read it each and every day. Sent it to DH but I dont think he got it the way i did which probably says a lot
anyway it is very good and puts things into perspective - i think anyway
apologies to those that know this poem well
