Today, I attended the memorial service for my 31-year old cousin that passed away over the weekend. While I wasn’t that close to him, the service really hit home for me. There I sat watching as his mother, my aunt, laid her own son to rest. I don’t think any parent should have to go through such a moment. It was terribly sad.
The memorial service as a whole really challenged me. Person after person got up and spoke about my cousin, and what an incredibly fun loving person he was, and how great his attitude was about life despite having a disease that ultimately took his life. All the comments, and the service as a whole, really challenged me to take a closer look at my life, and how I am living. It’s so easy to take life for granted, and complain about our lot in life. However, when I sit and listen to the wonderful things people had to say about a person that had a disease that drastically shortened his life, I can’t help but wonder what I’m doing to live my life to the fullest.
