This is a place that you all made together so you could find one another. The most important time of your life was when you were with these people. That’s why you are all here. No one does it alone Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you.
Steve Jobs passed away yesterday at the age of 56. He said before in his commencement speech at Stanford that remembering that he’ll be dead soon is the most important tool to help him make the big choices in life. Perhaps we got it backwards when we say that life is gift. The true miracle of life happens in the face of death. It’s only through the lens of our mortality that we begin to search and seek out treasured moments that mean something.
Worthwhile.
Timeless.
A peek into eternity.
Moments with those that matter. And the courage to love them in spite of the thorns of disappointments and hurt threatening to pierce our weary hearts.
