To help me get through this time, I sat down and made a sympathy card. I never made one before...never wanted to. What words can you really say to ease the pain of watching a loved one fade into memories of the past. It was therapuetic for me. I put a lot more details than usual on it and prayed for his family as I made the card. I'm not sure if I did it right or not, but I guess that doesn't matter...it's the thought that counts. I hope I don't have to make another one of these cards again for awhile.
Yesterday one of my family's dear long time friend passed away. He was only 55 years old, but our family had known him for the last 36 years. His kids grew up with us. As kids we would go fishing and camping all the time. As my parents got older, he would come over to play poker with my dad and his friends. As I write this I can still hear is laugh and remeber all the stories him and my dad used to re-tell over and over. It's hard writing about this (tears are rolling down my face), but at the same time it is helping me to remember what an impact this gentleman played in my history.
