COMETS
Some people are like comets. They streak through our lives in a flash of excitement, love, and awe. Then they are gone, never to be seen again, although we think of them often. Cometlike people cannot be held onto or controlled. They need to keep moving, lighting up yet another sky. Sadly, some comet types die too young, and we miss them and grieve deeply in their absence. But the angels know that each comet person who has left the earth at a young age exits in a burst of light that remains for the good of those left behind. A comet would never want us to mourn its disappearance. So comet people want us to remember the joy they left behind and to allow the love we had for them to continue to grow, blessing others in its path. (author unknown)
