Dear Readers,
A few weeks ago I was driving through the country side in
southern Indiana, and I happened upon a squirrel eating a nut in the middle of
the road. I swerved to the left but unfortunately
the squirrel’s final decision was running to my left. To be candid I am disappointed in myself because
if I had done anything differently the windy and hilly countryside of southern
Indiana would be marginally more cheerful then it is today.
I am not disheartened because mistakes happen, and hopefully
next time I will avoid the woodland creatures.
This experience points to how easy it is to say callus things that belittle
the value of any life. When I was
younger, I had no understanding of loss, or my own mortality. During that time I said some callus things
and regretfully I cannot redact those statements. Moving forward I will better support those experiencing
loss.
Sincerely,
A Wendell who misses his late Uncle Bill
