Dad you told us to be happy when you were gone and not to cry but, I know, you knew we would be sad because we didn't want to lose you and we would mourn you. I think you said that to try and make it easier for all of us including you. What you didn't think of was that we could still be tough and not wimps, but still cry and miss you everyday and wonder why you were taken from us so soon.
My Aunt Laurie just passed away as well and we had a celebration for her a week ago. My Aunt Linda said some beautiful things that inspired me and made me want to say something similar. She shared ways she wanted to be a better version of herself. I would first like to say I want to be more llike my husband Mike who is such a hard worker and great parent. Be like my big brother Kelly and be more optimistic and hold on to hope. Like my brother Brian and say what I think and not be afraid of what people will think of me, but maybe not so much politically though. More like my sister and best friend Kim who is such a loving and caring person who always shows and let's people know she loves them. More like my mom who I think is the strongest person I have ever met. Also, like my brother in law Pat who is always kind even to strangers no one is a stranger to him and finally more like my dad who made me laugh and at times embarrassed me but who I knew always loved me.
My step daughter Naomi shared a YouTube video with me about death and it was beautiful that such a young person like her could find such an insightful video. The man in the video talked about death as a fiction, it doesn’t exist. Death cannot occur in the experience of who you are — your soul, which lives far past the end of what you call your physical life. We may mourn our own loss, but it doesn’t make sense to mourn their death. They wouldn’t want you to mourn their death. Rather, they would hope that you may celebrate their “Continuation Day,” the love and joy they expressed in physical form, and that they are now continuing to live in the free and wondrous expression of their evolutionary process.
My dad I know would not want me to put him on a pedestal or make him sound perfect because let's face it no one is and he would be the first one to tell you that. My dad made a lot of mistakes and lived carelessly for a long time. His times of uncontrolled diabetes caused many a fight between family and a lot of unnecessary stress for me and I'm sure many others. Did you eat today dad? What's your blood sugar? It was scary and it was not pleasant. He left my family for another woman and broke all our hearts. We could never fully understand why he did that. He said mean things and made me mad so many times I didn't want to talk to him anymore. His politics became a very embarrassing conversation as liberals and Democrats were all Dumbocrats or libturds. Like I said though he wasn't perfect and had many flaws. But I can say I Loved him and forgave him for all of that and I am glad his battle with health problems and diabetes is over. I hope if he comes back in another life or in heaven he is 100 percent healthy and is super wealthy.
