Good Morning Everyone!!

Todays story goes along with Jack's poem, in the end, when the final tally comes, there will be only one thing worth counting about our lives. The naysayers of the world, the creep that cut you off in traffic, the waitress who ignored you, will not even be remembered!!

All I Remember

One day, while I was lying on a massage table in a
dark, quiet room waiting for an appointment, a wave of
longing swept over me. I checked to make sure I was awake
and not dreaming, and I saw that I was as far removed from a
dreamy state as one could possibly be. Each thought I had
was like a drop of water disturbing a still pond, and I
marveled at the peacefulness of each passing moment.
Suddenly my mother's face appeared - my mother, as she
had been before Alzheimer's disease had stripped her of her
mind, her humanity, and 50 pounds. Her magnificent silver
hair crowned her sweet face. She was so real and so close I
felt I could reach out and touch her. I even smelled the
fragrance of Joy, her favorite perfume. She seemed to be
waiting and did not speak.
I said, "Oh, Mother, I'm so sorry that you had to
suffer with that horrible disease."
She tipped her head slightly to one side, as though to
acknowledge what I had said about her suffering. Then she
smiled - a beautiful smile - and said very distinctly, "But
all I remember is love." And she disappeared.
I began to shiver in a room gone suddenly cold, and I
knew in my bones that the love we give and receive is all
that matters and is all that is remembered. Suffering
disappears; love remains.
Her words are the most important I have ever heard, and
that moment is forever engraved on my heart.
