I went to my first funeral today.
I wouldn't have even consider myself to be that close to him.
Having his motionless body lying there in the casket just made me think of and remember the times he and I had together.
They are things I never have considered to be special, like the one time he picked me up from work, or the times I went to his mother's place to help with computer problems. Â Even things I had totally forgotten about until that moment, like the first and only time I have ever been fishing, was with him!
As little as these moments really affected my life, I now have such an appreciation for them. Â Realizing that he chose to spend some of his precious time on this Earth with me, out of all people, is really something special!
The time we have here is short, and can end in an instant. Â Remember and cherish the times you spend with everyone you meet. Â Because when they are gone, that is all you will have left from them.
