In the past couple years our family has lost three from my father’s generation including dad and two from mine. They were all YUGE Cub fans. More than one has mentioned them assisting the team from the “higher” bleachers.
Have developed a better understanding of “celebration of life!” It includes those wonderful memories that you share with YOUR family Although we will all miss those saintly elders that molded our life, when we know their life we can easily celebrate their entrance into Heaven!
May your time with family these next few days be filled with joy, praise and precious memories!
Thank you HM. “higher bleachers” - I like that a lot!!
Yes, I plan on doing a celebration of life for my aunt. She was a wonderful, caring woman and had a nice long life (though the past 2 years have been somewhat difficult). She would want us to be happy for her that she was finally with her other family members and Jesus, who she loved so much.
What we did for our stepdad last month - had family and friends over (I think about 30 were there) and we served hors d’ourvres and beverages. After folks had time to eat and visit a little while, we sat around the living room and those that wanted to share a memory of him could. Some were funny and some a bit more somber but it was a great afternoon.
