found it already

i found the secret.
it's simple, actually.

remember how quick life is. remember that you never know when your time will end. remember you should always be ready...

one of my fellow english teachers passed away last night in her sleep. she was one of the best teachers i've ever met - very caring and dedicated. and now, without warning, she is gone.

even in death, she is teaching people. she has taught me to remember what is truly important in life. and, more importantly, she has taught me to let go... and now, it's gone. the anger is gone.

the world will miss you, mrs. colvin.
