Funeral

I went to a funeral today, it wasn't someone I directly knew but I knew the family of the person who had passed away. My boss' mother-in-law died last Friday and her funeral was today. It was touching, humorous, thought-provoking and filled with hope and love. Tender and precious were the words spoken but children, daughter-in-law, sweet songs sung by grandchildren and a feeling of peace pervaded the meeting. Sales meeting went well for those wondering about from last night. I went to the funeral after our meeting. I am glad I went. I was touched and I am a better person for having gone. The effect of 1 person, especially a mother, is felt for generations and it was in ample evidence today. A giant has left us but her influence will be felt for generations and all of eternity. God bless mothers. May we, as children, appreciate the tremendous and extreme sacrifices make for us to make us better people. Nothing can help put things back into proper perspective like a funeral.
