“Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.”
In other words, keep your priorities straight!
Don’t keep in touch? Really? These days with the reach of social media and the internet, how can you come up with any legit reason to not keep in touch with friends and family.
Cell phones, no long distance charges, texting, Facebook and email – these are many of the ways you can keep a relationship from fading away into nothingness. “He/She was a great employee” should not be how your tombstone reads.
I would much prefer to be remembered for the type of friend I was. I would much prefer to be remembered as a good mother who raised/reared two great sons. I would much rather be remembered as a fun grandmother, a passionate volunteer, a caring human being – one who stayed in touch.
