Family

This week my family and I attended the funeral of my Uncle Bud. He was a wonderful man... funny, kind and very loving. If a person wealth was judged by how much love was shown to them at their funeral, then Uncle Bud was a very, very rich man. His family was distraught, because they will miss him. Under all that grief though, they know that they will see him again. That knowledge will help their hearts heal and see them through the next couple of months. I can say from experience that missing him will never go away, but you take comfort in remembering the things that they said to you, the times you spent together and when you see something in your kids that remind you of them. My son commented that our family is always there when you need them . They are there to share something wonderful and to support each other when times are bad. It's just what our family does. We can thank our parents and grandparents for teaching us to love our family and God. It's the greatest gift you can give to a child.
