It's always hard when someone our own ages passes away and makes thoughts of our own mortality just a little bit more fragile. I am sure it also made you look at your own life and appreciate, just a little more, all that you have. What a beautiful tribute. I hope Rodi, at some time in his life, knew the impact he had as I doubt you were the only one whose life he touched in such a positive way.

I always thought of him as a friendly face from the past, but then I just became inspired by some specific little sweet memories I had and wanted to share them. cheers!Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-12703162492497211362012-09-17T09:12:51.632-07:002012-09-17T09:12:51.632-07:00That's sweet, Abby.

Some people touch us more than they know and more than we have the understanding to tell them at the time. I'm sure he would have been very happy to read those thoughts and share those memories with you.<br /> <br />I'm sure he will have touched many with the honesty and gentleness you describe so well here. And that - is a life well lived no matter how long or short.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-7600710301004350412012-09-15T19:04:17.330-07:002012-09-15T19:04:17.330-07:00Aw, sorry Rebecca.
