Honor Them With A Dance

reason. I watch the seasons of my life quickly pass me by and I think
about how we are born, we live and then we die. I think of those so
deep in their job that they neglect those around them.

never does come. When you look at the words Hello, look at it as a

let them know you are still around; you are honoring them with that
dance.
Let me tell you a story.
Roger was a man who from the time he was a young teen shut out those
around him. He put his mind into his work. His mother and father both
died before he was 40 and he didn’t talk to either of his teen boys.
He never had much of a relationship with them growing up and he had
disowned his only sister.
One day Roger looked up from the piles of paper that sat on his desk.
He picked up the phone to call his sister. A young woman answered the
phone. Roger said, “Hello is Sunetra there?” The young woman answered,
“May I ask who is calling? “ Roger replied, “Yes this is her brother.”
“Uncle Roger this is Gracie, I’m sorry we tried to get in touch with
you but Mom died a year ago. “ Roger didn’t know what to say. He
offered his condolences and hung up the phone.
As Roger sat at his desk he thought to himself it’s too late. Roger
put everything else in life before family and now he would never have
the chance to hear his sister’s voice again.
Are you like Roger? Are you married to your career? When was the last
