“The golden moments in the stream of life

rush past us, and we see nothing but sand;

the angels come to visit us,

and we only know them when they are gone.”

George Elliot

"A bird does not sing because it has an answer.

It sings because it has a song."

Chinese Proverb

"Change happens by listening

and then starting a dialogue

with the people who are doing something

you don't believe is right."

Jane Goodall

"Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity,

of life,

of the marvelous structure of reality.

It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.

Never lose a holy curiosity."

Albert Einstein

She missed her senior prom last Saturday.

But Sheryl Wolfe missed little else

that life has to offer.

The Mililani High School senior,

a model, friend, daughter and sister,

was to relinquish her title:

Miss Hawaii Teen United States

early next month,

but there was so much more to look forward to.

Partial to the beach, to her modeling,

and to athletics,

Sheryl always felt especially drawn to

those with developmental disabilities.

"She had a special place in her heart for them

and was thinking of a career

along that line,"

her father, Alan, told a reporter.

But life is what happens

while we are busy making other plans.

Last week,

Sheryl collapsed in class

and was rushed to Queens Hospital.

A stroke had felled this young girl.

Her organ donations

are her gift

to four Hawaii people

who will now be able to

continue

with this life

thanks to the choice

that she expressed on her driver's license. . .

"She was just so loved and full of energy.

She always has been that person who was

there for you in a second,

the most important friend

I've ever known in my life."

School Mate Laura Bunner

None of us is guaranteed one day more.

It is called the

"Present"

because it is a gift.

Thank YOU for sharing

some of it here with us! cloudia
