Thread: Just back from a funeral

Tweet

we will all die if we live long enuff .. several of my stories have told of the deaths of friends from my younger days .. now in the golden years death is all around even more .. in the last 10 years both my parrents have passed on ... two older brothers and a sister .. many many others i know ..for a while i had one foot in the grave and the other on a bananna peel .. i`ve come to the realization that none of us are promised tomorrow .. as the song says "" live like you were dying "" i`m enjoying life more now than in any period iv`e ever endured .. i just wish my crackhead son and his pillhead wife would straignten up .. they`re killing them selves ..

Steve, sorry to hear of your loss. I am at the age where both of my parents are gone, my wife's parents are in their 70's as well as my sister. It isn't easy but the fact remains that over the next 10 years many of family are going to be passing on.

The one thing that stuck me as sad, was one day before my mother passed at age 92, she told be the bad thing about living long is that the day will come when none of your friends and most of family will be around. Doesn't really make me one to leave sooner than later, but does bring the ageing point home. Winter or Summer, no time is a good time as far as I'm concern. Don't like my small circle of friends and family getting smaller.

Steve Sorry about your loss. Unfortunately as we all grow older, funerals are part of our life. I'm 64 my mom is 89 and some of her friends are still alive to which I will be going to there funerals and then sometime down the road, more of my friends.
