I am not necessarily a people pleaser but doesn't everyone like to be accepted?<br /><br />I like Scott's picture and how he has passed through the clouds and is letting the sun shine on his face. I would like to think that Sandi would be happy about that.<br /><br />Funerals suck - there is just no good way to say it. Eulogies that make you laugh as well as cry are the best.

I've tried to do my best to be fair, kind, loving and generous. Maybe others see me/judge me differently, but there is little I can do about that. <br /><br />I think too, overall, I've been lucky/blessed in my life and for that I am ever grateful and never take anything for granted. I've had a few sad events to teach me that lesson. <br /><br />I just want to get on with it as long as I can, doing the best I can. If I hurt someone along the way I never did so intentionally and I am truly sorry if anyone believes I did.<br /><br />Your post was beautifully, movingly written, thank you.<br /><br />TishxTish Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865177127050648489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077664349053649627.post-54561098624304524522010-01-21T02:48:03.942-08:002010-01-21T02:48:03.942-08:00Dear Cathi,

At least you will have some wonderful memories of him.<br />I'm not too worried about how people will remember me. I think that I have been as nice a person as I can be to my family and friends and to anyone that I have come across. I have tried to be kind, considerate and respectful and am grateful for the hand that has been dealt to me.I'm sure that I haven't been perfect, I think that would be impossible !! <br />Whether people will look kindly on me when I'm gone is irrelevant to me, really. Just as long as I'm happy within myself, that will suffice.Jacqueline @ HOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154045482594773377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077664349053649627.post-72313669265709384892010-01-20T22:11:46.798-08:002010-01-20T22:11:46.798-08:00It sounds like it was a beautiful way to remember ...It sounds like it was a beautiful way to remember him. I was at a funeral last week, and had a similar experience. The woman we were remembering was 89 when she died, and she was the sweetest person--seriously, she was a nurse in the South Pacific during WW II, then she came back, got married, and she and her husband had five kids (including my brother-in-law). Her husband died when their youngest was three, and she went on to raise the kids on her own. You know what they all remembered about her (and this is my memory of her, too)? She never ever raised her voice at them. Never. She was amazing, too, because all of those kids grew up to be incredibly respectful and caring people. Wow. <br /><br />So, I've been thinking very similar thoughts, Cathi, about how I will be remembered. I've certainly raised my voice a few (hundred) times in my life, but I hope I can strive to be a better person and to live each day fully. <br /><br />Thanks for this beautiful post, my friend. Such an important thing to think about. xoxoGigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.com
