This page is created in loving memory of a dear friend..every once in a great while, someone comes along who changes our hearts, our lives, and somehow, the world is never quite the same for the gift of their friendship and love. It is easy, in the hustle and bustle of daily life, to lose sight of what is truly important in life..and the valuable gift of life itself. We've all been given such a short time in this world to make a difference and to find our happiness. This page is in dedication to all of you who, like me, haven't always found that path to be the easiest endeavour. Keep your spirit and your love, as they are the most precious gifts you have to offer. Truly, "No one is alone."

To realise the value of one year, ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realise the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature child.

To realise the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realise the value of one minute, ask the person who has missed a train, bus, or a flight.

To realise the value of one second, ask the person who has survived an accident.

To realise the value of one millisecond, ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Time waits for no one. Treasure each moment you've been given,with the realisation that you may never be given a second like it. Take the moment you've been given ,and share it with someone...it will make that moment all the more precious.



"Should you leave me
With just this moment,
Even though half a moment is too few;
I shall save it,
Until I have another,
Making one whole moment
Spent with you...."
--- from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "By Jeeves"
.... performed by the extraordinary Laurie Beechman, who passed on in 1998 after an 8 year battle with ovarian cancer.
