~ For Starters:
Has anyone ever been to a funeral? I swear they are the saddest things ever!
~ For Me:
I’m an emotional person; I’ve found that out recently. I cry at the littlest things, so for something as sad as this, I just start bawling. Today me and my family went to a Mass (Catholic Service), for an older man who died recently. It wasn’t like an actual funeral, but the casket was there. (Thankfully, it stayed closed, because dead things like that really creep me out) I barley knew the man, but my dad knew him.
~ Still…
It was super sad. As the Mass went on, and the family spoke, I couldn’t help but cry. Everything they said about their ‘husband’ ‘dad’ or ‘grandpa’ or just ‘friend’ was so special. He was a loved man. Sadly, I was the only one in my family who was crying, kind of awkward.
~ The Point?
Okay, Rea, is a point to this than besides making me cry? I know you are asking that, and yes, there is a point! It’s to say that each and everyone’s life is special. Instead of being sad when someone dies, we should be grateful for the time we had with them.
~ Also!
It made me thing about what would happen if I suddenly died. Everyone knew that this man’s death was coming; he lived a long, full life. But what about me? Just another random kid. What would my family do? How would my friends react? Would I be lucky enough to have a beautiful funeral and be laid to rest? Okay, to tell you the truth, like the human being I am, I wondered what photo’s of myself my mom would pick out to put on the pamphlet thing. A selfish thought, but its something I thought about. Almost made me want to go home and write my will.
~But Instead!
I’m just going to say again. Each and every life is special, even yours! Instead of worrying about when I may die, I think living my life to the fullest is a better thing to do. Why worry about something that’s bound to happen eventually? Why just enjoy the time until you get there!
So be thankful for every day that you get, you never know what could happen…
All my love, Rea J
