Never Forget, Never Regret

Sometimes it just doesn't seem possible that so much has happened in the past two years. It was hard enough losing my Aunt Linda March 30, 2005 to lung cancer. A week later my Grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. We lost him March 4 of this year. He was without a doubt the biggest part of my life. The day we burried my Grandfather, my Aunt Brenda was diagnosed with unoperable lung cancer, a week later it had already spread to other parts of her body. All we can do is hope and pray. I was laying in bed earlier and I got to thinking, it seems as if I have been so caught up lately that I have forgotten all about my Aunt Linda. Which I know is not true but it seems to be the case because she hasn't been in my thoughts as much lately as she had been in the past and this really upset me. I know she understands. We were very close, and she would want more than anything for me to focus on school and my relationships. She would want nothing more from me than to succeed in life. I'm not writing this for sympothy, but for everyone to know that they need to take time out of their day, busy or not, to remember those that you love. Someday we might regret it, though it's never to late to start. Would you want to be forgotten? People live in through our memories and thoughts forever.

No one ever wants to be forgotten. Thats why everyone is afraid to die...they want to be remembered, at least thats one reason for that.

But also why do we mourn at a funeral? Sure they died but they have gotten away from the pain of this world. Why not celebrate their life instead of mourning their loss?

Thats the most important part to me, celebrating their life when they die instead of mourning the loss of them. Be happy for them.
