I had occasion to attend a funeral yesterday.
It struck me that I was suddenly attending an Increased number of these events lately!
I never met the Man who had lived to the age of 92 but some things were clearly in evidence.
I was there to support his Daughter.
I met her Brothers and Sisters and it reinforced what lovely people they are.
This Man and his Wife did a great job and they would have had reason to be very proud of these children, now adults with their own children.
The attendance was very high with people of all ages and backgrounds.
There were tears and laughter all mixed together and a difficult day for the family was made easier by the love of genuine friends.
The degree of high regard for this Man was a great comfort.
Life goes on after these events but the happy times of days gone by become a greater value in the comfort they bring in the time ahead.
A lot was achieved in 92 years.
Many of us will not achieve this length of time.
We can of course make every minute count, not simply thinking of ourselves but also giving our support to others.
It is an Irrefutable fact that giving brings its own satisfaction and achievement.
If you do not believe it...give it a try!
