B. D. Gulledge : I used to sit on the banks with a raft and watch the water roll lazily by. One day I pushed my raft into the shallows of the water and found the water moved swifter than I thought. My raft was actually a boat. Then, after some time, I rowed my little boat into deeper water. There were great storms, mighty winds, tremendous waves, and sometimes I felt so alone. But I have noticed my little rowboat is now a mighty ship manned by my friends and loved ones; and beautiful calm seas, warm sunny days, and nights filled with comfortable dreams always double after a storm. Now, I could never go back and sit on the bank. In fact, I search for deeper water. Such is life when lived.
I am sad and my prayers go out the the family of actress Natasha Richardson and her children.

Lovely words. So descriptive. Thank you Yolanda. RE: Natasha, I actually shed tears for Liam and their children. They appeared to be such a loving family. Too soon ended.
It is a very sad loss.
Beautiful words and tribute to Natasha Richardson. Such a sad event.
What a beautiful and meaningful passage!
Yes, I, too, was saddened by Natasha's passing. She was half of a celebrity marriage that actually worked, and it's so sad fro her husband and sons.
An amazing passage you've shared. It takes lots of courage to leave the bank.
I remembered her passing, and I love that quote. Life can just pass us by if we don't sometimes stop, pause and reflect.
