Everything shifts and changes, nothing stays exactly as it was at a given moment.  Like a stream altering its direction from shifts in the banks, our life shifts.  It slows and sometimes seems to stop and then a shift and once again it is flowing.

Tonight my mom’s baby brother passed away.  Less than 6 months ago he was a healthy man, married for 43 years to his first love.  Then one day a headache became a tumor and within months his life has stopped.  His memory will live on in the life of his wife, children, grandchildren, family and friends.  Yet, his time here has come to an end.
