Parting this world

Today was the funeral of my late uncle Morris Staton. While I can't say I am not painstakingly stricken with utter grief I am in mourning. I have very few and vague memories of time spent with him. Although I didn't expect to see the range of people there, most of whom weren't familiar, more people wept in front of the casket with each passing group. I have heard many stories of my uncle and I can't say most were in good light I do not adhere to them; for I cannot say that I knew him well enough for me to have that judgment. The Ceremony overall was short and very heartfelt you could feel the sorrow in the air there was even a little laughter to soothe the souls of the mourning. After attending I realized how much I do not know my own family and I also realized that we hold ill will's and spite to our loved ones and those whom we have petty squabbles when in reality that is what we have to really carry on our graces once we depart. I leave you with this quote
R.I.P Uncle MORRIS STATON I will miss you.

Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.-Arthur Rubenstien
