“Come to the edge,” he said.
“We can’t, we’re afraid!” they responded.
“Come to the edge,” he said.
“We can’t, We will fall!” they responded.
“Come to the edge,” he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”– Guillaume Apollinaire
As I reflect on the passing of my uncle, an incredible man, I realize his life had a profound impact on many around him. He was knowledgeable, compassionate, hard working and loving. What I take away from his life is to never postpone joy. Live in the here and now. It is all that we’ve got. Prioritize what’s important and above all replace fears with faith.
