Giving the Gift

It is not always easy to be immortal. Most of the people that the largest in our imaginations and memories are the infamous ones: The teacher that scolded, the bullies, those that ignored us, those that were just simply mean. To have a positive impact you have work harder, be more dynamic and more forceful. You have to outweigh the negative forces that are constantly hammering to the the ones we carry into our future.

But we all have them, those people in our lives that touched us so deeply they are forever immortal. The grandmother that loved you unconditionally, the aunt that adored you, that popular school mate that smiled at you for no reason, or the guy that stopped and just changed the tire for you -- all of them bring a smile to your face and build up the faith in others or in yourself.

We need to make an effort to become immortal to those who lives we are touching, because in that one moment we give them something that is forever priceless -- hope.

I hope this year to pass on the lessons I have learned, to pay it forward, to give you the gift of being immortal, by which my memory will keep me alive forever.
