suddenly i see...

brent's funeral was beautiful and they had a dedication ceremony at the ice rink which made me feel proud...

his funeral has made me sad, but it also has brought some changes in me. i have spent too long feeling sorry for myself. it is time for me to start caring about other people... maybe that is a legacy he has left me...

there were many stories told of how courageously he fought cancer. how he never gave up and tried to enjoy life to the fullest even to the last moments of his life. it was heart warming and also heart breaking. many cried, and many questioned god for such senseless loss of a wonderful person...

there aren't many people in this world that have touched and affected so many others as brent has. he treated everyone like they were his best friend and all of us felt that we have lost our best friend... and maybe, just maybe life is measured not by how long you lived, but by how much it has affected others... and when so many tears were shed by so many, there is no question as to the measure of his life...
