Only a few weeks ago I found out from a member of my family
that my cousin was getting much worse and did not have many days to live.
When I went to see her my only shock was how rapidly the body deteriorates
after all the functions have gone.
Her funeral was a happy one, and we were all in smiles, knowing she had gone to a
better place hopefully to remain forever.
There was a time just thinking of death would have made me anxious,
but understanding it just as much a part of life as birth,
then it becomes easier to embrace.
Just the not knowing where we actually go is the fear, yet we need not be
afraid if we have done all we can to make this world a better place for
the next generation to live in.
