My First Jewish Funeral Today has been an incredibly sad day. My friend and co-worker lost her father to lung cancer early this morning. He was diagnosed in November and four months later he lost the battle. I feel terribly heart broken even though I’ve only met the man once. My co-worker gave the most touching and memorable speech at the funeral. Her words will stick with me for the rest of my life, while her tears and strength will forever be an inspiration to me. As soon as the funeral was over, I called my mom just to say that I loved her. I tell her that every day, but today the words carry a much stronger meaning. I feel empty right now. Count your blessings and I will do the same. Life is so short and fragile. (big sigh) |
