does life teach before death


So last Saturday, about 5:15p, Rosi died…..she was the mom of some of my friends that I met in childhood..she was 77 and a diabetic and overweight and probably had a heart attack

I am unable to attend the funeral, but was there at the most important time in her family’s life, at her death

A couple of things:

First I was feeling bad that I couldn’t make the funeral….but now I see that this is the time for the family to actually get their collective shit together and take care of one another

Second, the youngest child, he will be wracked with guilt….i told him that he needed to move back closer to home…instead, he started a business

Thirteen months ago the father had a medical emergency while on a family trip….the youngest child fell right-the-fuck-apart…..it was the big-ass clue life was sending him to move…but his selfish fear of dealing with ANY type of confrontation has now left him with the memories from thirteen months ago and what could have been

I guess what I’m saying is, when life sends you a clue, be sure to figure out what it means to your life and move forward with it in a positive manner
