Introduction
We live in a world where endings in fairy tales conclude with "They lived happily ever after." When you were a child you may have wanted to live in that fantasy world. As you grow older and gain more life experience, you soon come to realize that life begins with birth, and death will eventually follow.
A long time ago in a small village, a woman came to the religious leader. In her arms she tightly gripped a small bundle. She begged for an audience before the leader. When it was finally granted, she pleaded with the leader to bring her small baby back to life. The leader compassionately told her that she must look into the eyes of others in the village to find a family that had never been touched by death. The woman wandered the village day and night and looked into peoples' eyes and heard their stories. She finally returned to the leader. She said that she now was ready to bury her baby. She understood that death had touched everyone at one time or another.
