“Your Life’s Substance”
There will be many things on your tombstone; your name, the date you were born, the date that you died, perhaps a short phrase that speaks to how loved ones want to remember you But the most important thing on your tombstone is the “dash.” The “dash” (hyphen) between the day you were born and the day that you died represents the time you were here on earth in physical form. The length of time is not important, but what you did while you were here IS.
