When you are born, you begin weaving the cloth of your life. Each person you know - whether for a day, a month or a lifetime - lends color to the cloth's unique design. There are yellows and browns, blues and purples, reds, oranges and pinks - each color representing what the person has contributed.
Every shade has been specifically selected for the individual who weaves in and and out of your cloth. The design that is created depends on each of the hills and valleys that you encounter in your lifetime.
On the day he was born, my grandfather was given a special thread to add to life's tapestry. His silk was of the brightest gold. Every day of his life, he wove this golden thread through the life of all those he met. His contribution stood out in the sea of other colors as it was unlike anything else present.
I can see what Grandpa has done so clearly in the cloth that covers my life. Unlike the other threads which make a design of peaks and dips according to life's events, this thread runs evenly - directly through the center.
Grandpa's thread is strong, brilliant, beautiful, unyielding...
