As I picked up the morning paper from the driveway, I noticed the headline that Peter Jennings had succumbed to lung cancer. I had been wondering how he was doing since his announcement in April.
What a bummer. I have always admired his approach to life. Now, as I watch the news programs that tell us about his life, I know why I have admired him. He epitomized the concepts of serving, caring about those you serve, and sharing the love in your heart. You only had to watch how he interacted with children to see that he really got it. He served, cared and shared.
I didn't realize how his passing would affect me so much. There were tears very close to gushing out, but I didn't want to miss the next part of the story. I know that I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be touched by his contribution to my life and the lives of others. We will miss him and we are all better off for his having been a part of our lives. Do as Peter did,
Serve well!
