I went to the wake or viewing last evening and funeral service today to pay final respects to my brother in law. My soon to be ex husbands, sisters, husband. Last night some talk was going through the room about who should or should not be there. I believe in paying last respects, that should not even come up but thats me.
The service was really lovely, very sad but lovely. The room was full of emotion and although their world is falling apart, God is helping his family stay strong. I think of David and words that come to mind are Strong, encouraging, loyal and committed. He was the epitome of strength.
We all went to Six Flags one time and my daughter was afraid of the Roller Coaster. David insisted, FACE YOUR FEAR and she did. She was so excited that she did it and it was Davids encouragement that helped her find the strength.
One time David was talking to me about his brother getting out of prison. He said, We gotta give them a chance when they get back home. He was a giver. He believed in Family. He always came to aid my Mother in Law no matter how many times or ways she made it difficult. He stood up and fought for what was right.
One day we all went to a local cafeteria that did Karaoke. David was encouraged to get up there, Donny picked a song as I recall sung by a female about being a female, David faced it, he was awful and he knew it but he did it and we all laughed. Thats who David was. He faced whatever lie in front of him with a smile. He had no fear to big, ever.
It was a wonderful sendoff for a wonderful man, May God continue to be with the family as they search for a new normal.
