Well it''s not really today anymore, it's more like Monday the 18th, I funeraled. In my life I've been to a lot of funeral's, and while they are generally one of the most tragic depressing display of human emotions, you can find SOME good in them. You can learn things about the deceased you never would have known otherwise, stories take place, love is shared family and friends come together for a rememberence of a great person. I just think there is a love at funeral's we don't get anywhere else, enemies lay down there arms, old memories we once forgot are fresh in our heads and the tears in our faces, are just as beautiful as they are heartbreaking. While I will never think of a funeral as a happy place, I can accept it, as almost a necessity, where I can grieve, where I can love. A place where hearts are truly sparked into action. Families, who haven't talked in years come together. To learn the things about my aunt that I did, I, just don't have the words to describe this feeling of sorrow, and pride mixed together...
R.I.P. Auntie Louise "Deegee" Howard, I, Our family, your friends, your students, and the community loves you. Thank you for being a part of my life.
