Unbeknownst To Her, A Small Token of Sympathy Had A Deep And Lasting Impact
A couple of years ago one of my closest friends lost his sister to breast cancer. They were extremely close, and to lose her was so devastating. I
decided to celebrate her life with a memorial candle. I sent it to him in the mail and did not really think much about it after it left my mailbox.
Recently we reconnected and I learned that this small token of my sympathy was so beloved by her husband that he asked if the candle could be present at her funeral. It became part of her memorial service. And it accompanied her to her cremation service.
This news was surprising to me. I never knew what type of impact this would have on her family. It helped me to realize how very important it is to love, by actions. We just never know how much it will mean to someone on so many levels.
