As I recalled my loved ones, the phrase of our Jewish neighbours, “May her or his memory be a blessing,” came to mind. One of the gifts of longer years is the treasure-house built up of memories to access, to be enjoyed. The beautiful human ability to evoke times, places, and relationships is indeed, as our faith companions often say, a blessing.
I invite you to recall one particular memory stored in your heart’s treasure house of memories today and behold the blessing.
