Smithsonian Sayings

FIFTY-SIX

Last night I went to a dinner given in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of my college graduation. Along with the laughter and conversation there was also a time of serious reflection. A large panel had been placed on tables in memory of our classmates who have died. As I looked at their names and pictures I saw some whose passing I already knew about, but I also saw others I didn’t know had passed on. One died only a few weeks ago. Altogether I counted fifty-six of my classmates who have gone on. It was sobering to remember the good times and friendship we shared and to realize I would never talk or laugh with them again in this life. But that is how God has designed it. Death is an appointment we all will keep. I’m thankful for the memories of them, and I’m also thankful for the reminder that this life will someday end. God bless the fifty-six, and I look forward to a great Reunion still to come. –JTS
