This generation of our family has experienced many of those over the past century. My heart aches, not only for my very up-close-and-personal loss of my eldest Son but also for the numerous other family members.
You know it is in the future that we must care for and then bury our parents, but you never want to experience losing your children, no matter how old they are.
You don't feel much like laughing after these events. That is where faith comes in and you must use it. So, my hope is that people will try not to be so mean to others because you just never know when your time is up; you don't want to have any regrets.
So, my advice (take it or leave it) is to Laugh as hard as you Love; And Live like it is your Last Day! Stay true to yourself and others, and leave a little wiggle room for mistakes, but fix them fast.
Peace and Love
