December 1st came, it is another one of my favorite days. December brings my birthday, Christmas, a break from school and sometimes snow. It is the best time to stay inside and play games or sit by the fire, all my favorite things.
My mom told me about my Uncle George’s funeral. There were over 450 people at his funeral, people he had impacted over his life. It didn’t matter what he was going through in his own life, it never affected the kind of friend or person that he was. It was such an amazing legacy to leave.
I watched the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Clarence, the angel, gives George a Bible. Inside the Bible, he writes:
“Dear George,
No man is a failure who has friends.”
Let me always remember that it is the number of my friends and not the number of my things that makes me successful.
