A young woman I knew reasonably well died last year on a Texas road. She was not at fault in the accident. She was a smart young person and would have had a great life. As it was, she did plenty of good for others in the time she had.

In her death notice in the newspaper, and in the program at her service, her parents wrote, “(We) would like to encourage everyone to slow down and be careful on all the highways of life.”

I think of this everyday. It’s great advice.

Please slow down and be careful on all the highways of life.
