Many of us can look back on out formative years with great fondness.
We were surrounded by people who looked after us, taught us, and
provided the values and socialization needed to succeed in the modern
world. Others met our most basic needs, and we were completely
dependent.
Remembrance of people and past events plays an important part in many
religions and cultures. Some light candles and offers up prayers.
Special days are set aside as memorials or celebrations of lives past.
This occurs both in the East and West, and some of the ceremonies are
quite similar in content, despite differences in language and culture.

touch with them. Picking up a phone requires little effort, yet may

or diary of each day, and mention something worth remembering.
Although it takes a few minutes and some thought, the results are well

soul. Perhaps with a global response of people making a connection
to those they care about, the world would be a better, and safer,
place to live.
