It’s a morning blog today! I have been granted compassionate leave to attend my Grandfathers funeral this afternoon, and i thought asi haven’t written anything since the weekend, i would write something this morning.
I always find funerals rather difficult to deal with. I remember 3.5 years ago when i had to attend the funeral of my cousin who had been killed while on patrol in Iraq. That was certainly one of the most difficult things i have ever had to deal with. A waste of a young life. I remember coming home on that day and just being completely drained, both physically and mentally.
I don’t think it will be like that this time, someone who dies when they’re 95 makes you feel like they have lived enough of their life to do the things they most want to do. I think at least everyone deserves that much out of their life.
So i guess my message is that you have to live your life. I know it’s said throughout the world, live your live for each day! And all that jazz... The way i see it, is that you don’t have to go out bungee jumping or ice climbing or whatever to live your live. You just make the best of what you have, do the things that you love and spend time with the people that mean most to you. If you manage to do that, then i think you can rest in peace knowing that while you may not have had a massive influence on the human race – You may have at least had an impact on someone’s life so that they may remember what you achieved. That is what is important, i think.
Anyway, have a good day. Im not sure i will, but the end of something always means the beginning of something else. So is the eternal circle of life. Well, until the human race passes into the abyss, but we’ll leave that for another day!!
All the best.
