I like reading the obituaries. Some people's lives are very interesting. Most are long-lived, others are not.
A nine-year-old girl was in today's obits in the provincial paper. She died of a brain tumour. But that's not the only thing that defined her. She was in Grade 4 French Immersion and she was a Girl Guide. She liked to make sculptures out of clay and she liked to draw.
I like reading the obituaries because sometimes they remind me of how fortunate we are.
