Turning a negative positive - even with death

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine. I was checking to see how her daughter was doing. Her daughter had an incredible teacher who was a mentor and a friend, and he died yesterday. As expected, the girl was really upset when she found out. What was incredible is that when she got home in the evening she was okay. When her mom asked what happened she said she spoke with a friend who helped her look at it differently. While the fact that he died is painful and she is sad over that, she can remember the positive impact he had on the world. So she has decided to do what she can to impact people’s lives in a positive way just like her teacher impacted hers. Knowing this girl, I have no doubt that she will impact thousands of lives. Has she impacted yours already? I know she impacted mine.
