Nelson Mandela – RIP


The death of  Nelson Mandela is not just a loss to his family, but a loss to the world.

Quote - Nelson Mandela
Quote – Nelson Mandela

Given his health struggles during the last year, the announcement on TV last night was not unexpected. However, the impact of that announcement in our household is a measure of the man.

It seems to me that for every generation there is an icon that takes a hold of  the world. Mandela was such a man.

He was a great man and will remain an inspiration to us all.
