A Short Life Lived Well
I read about the untimely death of the St. Louis Cardinal's baseball pitcher Josh Hancock yesterday. It reminds me of a relative who died in her early twenties in a car accident. Like everyone else, I wondered why she had to go at such a young age. But at her funeral, I found out how she lived her short life. She was concerned about others, epsecially those who were poor or oppressed. She dedicated her life to helping people, when other college graduates were pursuing money instead. In my opinion, her life was a life lived well.
