Throughout the year there are many reminders of just how fast time passes us by. Take for example, birthdays, dates of when loved ones have died, Christmas and New Year’s.
January 10 marked 30 years since my papa Smith died. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it seems like a life time ago.
I wrote a column a few years ago for The Selkirk Journal, around the time my uncle Garry died. The column focused on urging people not to wait to let those you love just how much they mean to you. I feel this an important message no matter when and sometimes we need a gentle reminder.
I am blessed with a loving family and many wonderful friends. To all those in my life, I say thank you for enriching my life.
