For those of you who haven't heard the story, here goes. On New Years Eve, Carla Smith left her home in Dripping Springs in her van with her 3 daughters to pick up their daddy from work. At approximately 2:30 am Carla's van went off the road due to the intense fog that night. As Carla got out of her car to check for damage she was struck by an oncoming car and was killed instantly. She is survived by 3 daughters, ages 5 months. 5 years, and 15 years. We are having a charity auction for the girls this Wednesday night February 10th. If there any of you out there that would like to contribute something of value that we could auction, it would be greatly appreciated. Time is of the essence so if you can help, please call me at 784-7843 or 633-6666 in the afternoon or evenings so we can include it in our auction. You can also email me at dk@dkaustin.com

HOW DO YOU LIVE YOUR DASH?
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years. (l900-l970)
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars...the house...the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile...
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
