Sometimes I get caught up in the "daily grind" of life. I forget that other people might be more important than myself. I think Charlotte is an excellent example to adults as well as to young people. She gave and gave of herself until her own death. I admire her because she taught that life does go on when bad things happen, and she also taught how to be strong when everything seems to take you down. She died with a happy heart. The best part of her whole story were the gifts she left behind. Her friends always remembered her as a wise, wonderful, and dedicated friend. This is the way I would like to be remembered when I leave this world. It is amazing what characters in stories teach us--and how they fill our hearts!
