Bridges

There are some people in your life that literally helps you reach a different road in your life.

I read a friend's post about one such person, our college dean. She was both mentor and friend. She was not in any way perfect and Im sure her life wasnt either... but you wouldn't know it. She had such zest for life and you cannot help but be infected with the joy with which she faces difficulties.

She had such charm. But more than that, she touched people's lives. She touched mine. And I am so much blessed for having known her.

She was the guardian at a checkpoint. She generously and graciously opened another road for me to travel. And I am where I am because of it.
