This young man hasn't had time to process his grief yet. He probably spent months watching his fathers health deteriorating and still remained Valedictorian. He has a long road ahead. May he and his family be lifted in love by those around them. Blessings to this exceptional young man.

@JeremyAnas99 3 месяца назад

My grandfather passed away 3 months before my 8th grade promotion and not seeing him at my high school graduation back in '18 was harder but I wore his old Watchtower tie clip as I walked off that stage so it felt like he was definitely alongside me and I know he'd be immensely proud that I graduated

His father dies in 6 hours later he has a funeral, that's quick turnaround time

@adiaj9228 3 месяца назад

Some religions require it

@minyoonji2229 3 месяца назад

Also, if health is declining, a funeral might not be unexpected. They might have had, sadly, a lot of time to consider the preparations, and they were ready by the time he actually passed. There's more to consider, of course, but it's happened before in my family where a death and funeral were 1 or 2 days apart max.

@Nadezhda1932 3 месяца назад

@nelsonmandela3432 Really this kid just lost his Father and graduated the next day and you are somehow bothered by the timeline of his Father’s Funeral ?!
