That it does dear lady, to which I have witnessed. There are no words for something so profoundly beautiful…but fear so greatly. And yes, that fear does have a great purpose, so that we will have strength, courage and a love in finding us down here…and then in finding us, understand truly what awaits us ❤️🙏🏽

Yes, life and death go hand and hand I believe. Every living thing eventually dies. And as the years go by, that circle of life grows smaller and smaller, as it should. All the more reason we should live our lives to the best of our ability. So far as I know, we only go around that circle once!

Yes, it does. When a classroom pet dies, we have a big discussion, answer children’s questions, and bury the pet in our Memory Garden. Death is never swept under the rug.
