Dear Alan - -

What can be said that you don't already know. The world is such a different & foreign place now. I will leave a little story I once read:



A great reminder… the best is yet to come!





'This is very important,' the woman said to her friend. 'I want to be remembered with a fork in my right hand.'



The friend stood looking at the woman, not knowing quite what to say.



That surprises you, doesn't it?' the woman asked.



'Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request,' said the friend.



The woman explained. 'My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favourite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!'



So, I just want people to remember me with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork ....the best is yet to come."



See you someday at dinner!!!

As always and you know the rest,

Charile
