Hard to swallow. Sorry for your loss.

We went out looking for a cousins gravesite. He wasn’t yet 20 and died in a car accident. Adjacent to him was my great uncle‘s Grave; I can’t hardly remember Him.
What is scary is when the memories start to fade.

Sorry to hear Don.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I am about out of cousins. Aunts and uncles all gone.

Once in a while it doesn't hurt to walk through the old section of a cemetery. Much history just reading dates and ages.

Puts things into perspective.

A life time is actually a very short time.

It's interesting (can't think of a better word for it) that within just a few days after we bury a loved one, life pretty much carries on, still have to get up in the morning, pay the bills, do the chores, go to work, laugh and joke around, etc.. This makes me realize that we are actually quite dispensable.

Sorry to hear that. The Bible reminds us that our time here in earth is like a vapor, here one second, gone the next.

Sorry for your loss. I have my Fathers funeral coming up and seeing a similar situation. Family is spread out over the country and hasn't been together in probably 30-40 years. Very doubtful I will see many family members come in - and many are already passed. As I called around trying to track them down, found out a few passed that I never knew about. Sad when family falls apart

We are only here for a brief time

I was fortunate to know 3 of my great grandparents, all passed after I was in high school so knew them well.

Dad will be 79 this year, I know our time is limited and try to make the most of it.

Prayers for comfort. I too have no aunts or uncles left. One cousin on my dads side that is 3 months older than me and a few on my mothers side.

Sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
