What a sobering few sentences. I can attest to this shadowed request. Indeed we should remember kindly that the worth of every soul is not based solely on the end, or sum of a person’s life- rather, it would be better to remember that a life is based on twenty-four hours worth of moments across each day of that person’s life. Much time and surely full of much good. We certainly would expect this for ourselves.
