Thank you for addressing my email! As I have grown older and begun to lose family and my close friends begin to lose family that I know, I recognize that it is more important to celebrate the good times. I have spent time in the funeral home, visiting with those friends sharing my memories of their loved one. They are usually fun stories and make us all laugh at the recollection. It's what I want at my viewing. It is what I remember of my father's viewings. I want my loved ones to know the memories I have of their lost family and what they meant to me. It makes my friends smile and cry and astonishes their children at things their grandmother/father have done! Life is to be celebrated, we are sad because we miss what could have been. Dwell on the good times and good memories, that's what is most important.
💛💛💛 I am just hearing this news and I am very sorry for the loss of this yourg man. Sending healing vibes to your family and everyone involved. Thank you for both ups and downs with us. I hope life sends you some love and grace.
I have 2 daughters and totally understand what you guys are saying about them growing up so quickly. And they don't even recognize it or understand it, but you're just like STOP!! My youngest daughter just started walking and that hits hard when you realize she doesn't need you anymore to move around. It hit me with my first daughter as well. It's something about your child's dependence on you, and they grow up and become less dependent on you. You want to be in control because you know your intentions are best and they're protected. But ultimately they're becoming a functional human which is great, but super sad 😢
what you are trying to tie into the conversation as a whole is the idea that I can't deal with as a father. Time flies by, you don't know if you or the ones that your world revolves around will be here tomorrow.
