Hey Friend,

A couple days ago, I was chatting with my oldest son, Kayden, before bedtime and he asked me "Are you scared to grow old and die?"

The very next day, I was driving my son Camden to a friend's house, and he asked me "Dad, are you afraid to die?"

Then, yesterday I attended a funeral for one of our neighbors, an AMAZING lady, that I wanna tell you a little about here in this email.

Anyway, even though this has nothing to do with home business, it must be in the ether (mine at least) so I made this short video yesterday sharing what I told my kids about death.

But back to the funeral.   The lady who died was one of the best people in the world. She and her husband where always at the hospital, visiting, both my grandparents before they transitioned.

They were there, not for appearance, but because they had true love for my Grandpa Ford & Grandpa Carol, and wanted to be there for them in their time of need.

I remember being so touched, seeing them walk out of the hospital room, as I was walking in for my visits.

Not long after my grandparents died, Laura found out she had cancer.

It was so sad because, as I said, she's one of the very best people in the world.

My mom kept saying, over and over, "It's not fair."

And I agree, it sure doesn't seem fair.

That being said, I was so inspired at the funeral as I heard how Laura handled the news of her cancer, all the way up until her last breath.

Her husband, Paul, spoke and told us all...

When Laura would talk to the kids in our neighborhood about what she was going through...

She would tell them... "I'm not angry. I can choose how I will go through this."

She would then tell them of all the hard experiences she'd faced in her life, and how many of those hard events would have been easy for a lot of people to become angry at.

She mentioned that the logical question to ask for most people would be "Where is God? - with a tone of blame and anger."

She said that through all the hard times, this one included, she always tried to find "where God was with me" through it all... and then she went on to say that she always felt strengthened and supported.

She told them that she was committed to enduring this last earthly trial well, and that she wouldn't allow it to take her faith from her.

Her family was so impressed at how strong she was each and every moment, even though she was enduring much pain of body.

Her husband Paul said that she was always so thankful for the people who took time out of their day to take her to her cancer treatments.

My wife was one of those people, and as he said those words, I put my hand on my wife's shoulder, as I saw a tear fall down her face, to let her know how thankful I was that she was that kind of a person.

I walked out of that funeral yesterday, with a sense that it had been filled with gratitude, strength and faith.

Laura left her life as a towering monument, for us all to behold and aspire to.

Hope these words, touch your heart today Friend, as they've touched mine.

All the best,

Paul
