UPDATES:
I may be found!
I am so lost in the world!
I am so lost in the world!
I am so lost in the world!
I am so lost in the world!
PLEASE READ as I think this could not be better put. We all need to open our hearts.
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember to say 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Today was truly one of the hardest days of my life. As today we said our final "goodbyes" to one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Alton Wayne Tollison was laid into rest at Westover Cemetery at 3 o'clock today. It was one of the most beautiful "goodbyes" my family has ever seen. My family has been showered with much love and support and for that we thank you.
My grandfather was so loved n' adored both in life and now more so in death. He made so many of us laugh and he will be forever be missed. However, remember he is now no longer in pain and his legacy lives on forever in our hearts. It is up to us to pass it on to those who never had the pleasure of one of his jokes.
I want to take the time to thank all of those who came to show your support today, those who sent flowers or food and especially those who sent their love and condolences. I join my family in thanking each and everyone of you.
I have been asked on many occasions about donations......You can gladly give a gift that keeps on giving in honor of him. You can send all donations to a charity that our family holds near and dear to our hearts (Boys Farm Inc. of Newberry South Carolina.)You can gladly sign onto their website (http://www.boysfarm.org/) and learn more about what wonderful work they do for youth in their times of great need.
