Funerals

As we grow older so do others around us. Yes, I know that makes perfect sense, but what changes is this. You find that you are attending more and more funerals. Our friends, loved ones and acquaintances are passing away. There have been three funerals in the past three weeks. My mother had a funeral last week. She has now lost all of her family in the generation above her. Isn't that something? That would seem strange, but I guess that is the natural way of events. It's sad to see so many young people who are losing their lives due to illness, accidents and other reasons. That just shouldn't be.
