Discussion Went to a funeral.

[nopurposeinanything]

Someone i was relatively close to died recently, she went to my church. She was a really nice woman. Today, I went to her memorial service. I wasn't really planning to cry because I dont cry usually at funerals. it was an open casket, so the 3rd time I looked, one of her family members were crying really badly. It reminded me, my family would react the same way when I die. another person next to me said "love you, mama." And that really did it, made me start crying. It feels so weird.

Yeah I straight up sobbed years ago at my friend's father's funeral. Place was packed and my friend had just had her first child some months before. He was a guy who had just always been there. Larger than life guy. That he was just gone in a snap and so loved by all his family and children was so sad. But in a way everyone agreed that if he had a mission in his life, with his youngest child happily married and provided for, his mission was complete.

I'm sorry for your loss
