Missy Flick

My sister was an extremely talented decorator. She could turn any room into a showplace. She would sew the most amazing things. Curtains, pillows, bedspreads, were favorites. She could also sew clothing. She could make a prom dress as beautiful as any gown seen at the Oscars. I believe Missy’s talent laid in her keen eye for color. She could put a color pallet together that would leave you speechless in its beauty and simplicity.
This is a sad time for all of us. It may seem as if the world has lost some of its color and beauty. Today we see the world in shades of grey. I believe however that for many of us we go through our lives viewing the life we have been given in these very shades of grey. Our lives are busy, hectic, There are children to raise. They take a lot of our time and energy. Then there are our jobs. Even if you are fortunate to love your job, it too takes a lot of your time leaving little for yourself. Fortunately vacation time comes around but this too can be stressful-where to go, planning it, paying for it, hoping the weather is sunny at the beach. We are left just moving through life, seeing the world in shades of grey.
When Missy was in the hospital all her hair fell out overnight. What was left were a few strands that stuck straight up. Most people would be devastated, but not Missy. She commented, with a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes that she “looked like a Who.” And she did. But more than that she looked at her life at that moment as a Who would. She refused to see her life , even then, in shades of grey. She saw color in her life even at that moment with no hair and tubes coming out of everywhere.
Our lives are composed of seconds of time. Some of our strands are longer than others, but eventually the seconds will come to an end. I am asking you to honor Missy by not wasting even a second of your strand viewing your life in shades of grey, Take joy in everything you do. Appreciate everything you have. Love everyone you meet. Your life will be much more colorful.

We are so sorry for your loss! Heaven gained a true angel. We will be praying for your peace and strength.

Once in while, amidst all your bad days, you’ll have a good day, a great day even. Make sure you remember those days. Keep them safely in the pockets of your coat or in a jar on your desk because you need to know that there are and will be better days. You need to remember how on those days you felt all warm inside, like you’ve just drunk a hot cup of tea. Like a small fire has ignited inside of you. Hold on to the warmth and never let it go.?
