Married at Their Son's Funeral

A couple in New York got married at their 7 year old son's funeral. He had been killed in a car accident. He had wanted them to get married so they married in his honor.

This is another reminder that we need to do things to honor people before it's too late. I challenge everyone to find at least one thing you've been putting off that you can do for someone you love. Whether it's a spouse, parent, sibling or child, those kinds of things are much better done while the person is alive to see it.

Thank you K D, and Sandi, sooo true... way too short. If I have learned one thing it is to let go and continue to love. There is no room for anger, revenge, lashing out. Those things eat you alive and leave your spirit depraved. So I fight negitivity with acts of kindness where ever and when ever I can.

I guilt-tripped my nephew into going to visit Mother. She was surprised he wanted to visit her. He actually wanted what I had for him and that's where he didn't have to drive 30 minutes to get it. Everyone won.

I guess you have to do that sometimes. =/
At least she got to see him!
