Coming To Terms

Death is inevitable.  We all know this, but none of us truly want to think about it.  It's morbid and depressing.  No one wants to think about loosing the one you love.  I mean that's something that's going to happen in the distant future so no need to worry about it now.  Right?

Since becoming an 'adult', I've attended three funerals for people that are not related to me in anyway.  Being an adult can suck sometimes.  Tomorrow I go to my fourth funeral.  For the first time it's for a military spouse that I knew.  This was something that I never thought would happen.

I know I could probably get away with not going, because we weren't close.  But I won't.  Funerals aren't for the dead.  They are for the living.  So tomorrow I will go so that her family feels that they aren't the only ones who will mourn her passing.

Time is fleeting, so treasure each moment.
