Casey Helm

I attended a Celebration of Life for Casey Helm last Wednesday. Casey was a child with special needs and he was 17 years old. It was a time to remember how delightful Casey was and how many people he touched during his short life. His Mom, Kristi, is a good friend of mine.

The flyer his family created for each attendee had Casey's photo on it and this inside:

Casey is and was an angel. He deeply touched everyone who knew him with his special joy of life. In remembrance of Casey and to honor his legacy, we ask you to try to live your lives with these commitments:
1. Smile more and often
2. Every day, laugh at a silly joke, be a little goofy, hug a friend.
3. Every day, learn at least one important fact about history that will teach you how to make the future better.
4. Ask a question, don't stop asking until you get an answer that satisfies you. Be persistent.
5. Every day, say to at least one person, "I love you."

These are things that Casey did daily. Think about how much better the world would be if we all did these five simple things every day.

This is GREAT advice...let's all do it! Thank you Casey for your legacy and I know you're smiling down at us right now!
