Yes! It’s been a while since I have been on my blog – so much has been going on. I should know though that this is probably the way to vent or at least talk to myself via this media. So today I found out that my dear friend Grace Hart-Caron’s son Damien committed suicide….such a nice person gone in a moment of depression and anger – how awful! – Grace has worked so hard with Damien and Angel and my heart is broken for her and her family. This takes me back a few weeks to something I meant to write about when I got home – this is about death or really about life. Just after I came home from school my aunt passed away (in fact she died while I was in school but it was hidden from me because I was doing finals – grrr) In any event, up until that time I attended a funeral or memorial service for at lest 5 weeks straight – two in Princeton, then Canon Strachan and Aunt Jane – these are people who lived various lives and who lived to good ages. Mr. Flemmer, in Princeton, would have been proud of the way his family and friends turned out to remember him at his memorial service. The same can be said of Canon Strachan and Aunt Jane (although I am sure Canon Strachan would have found something wrong with his two services – LOL) – these deaths, or really celebration of lives, should be how in just simplicity one can really make an impact on the lives of others. – so those are to celebrate (although I miss Aunt Jane a lot) – then there is the death of Damien…. How does one even begin to make sense of this death or celebrate his life – a young man gone tooo soon from the earth. – Only God in his infinite wisdom knows. Tomorrow I go to two more funerals – my buddy Jack Adderley, whom I worked with at MOT for many years and Rudell Hunt, a great friend and neighbor of my Grammy and Grumpa….May they all rest in peace
