"Birth [is] a sleep and a forgetting . . . death [is] an awakening and a remembering."
"The concept of death is a change in life, not the end of life."
~Paul H. Dunn
"The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity."
~Seneca
"A man is not completely born until he is dead."
~Benjamin Franklin
"Let us accustom ourselves to regard death as a form of life which we do not yet understand."
~Maurice Maeterlinck
With all that said, it is still impossible to not feel sad when we think of our David. But that's OK and important too! Elder Dunn also says in his book "Don't try to fight the sorrow you feel. The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life."
I personally LOVE the "birthday of eternity" title. Can we say that instead of "the anniversary of his death"???
