These are my not very academic and politically correct reflections and thoughts. They are coming from my heart and I hope they may sit on the hearts.

Her Smile

6/3/2014

 
I used to see her in the corridors of the university almost every week. One thing that was different about her was that she would pay attention when she would pass by you. She would look at you with smile and kindness in a very honest way and would then say a very happy 'Hi' to you with a very generous smile. Like others, she too was very busy and had many deadlines to meet, yet, she would never allow this to take away the pure honesty of her greeting and her genuine question of "how are you". When she would ask you this question you could feel that she really cared and wanted to make sure you were okay.

She passed away a couple of weeks ago and I am thinking of the lessons that I learned from her manners. 

God bless you Bernadine and have mercy on your soul.
