The Matron of my family died last night. Aunt Vi is the lady in the red dress looking so stately. She carried her role of the oldest daughter to perfection. This is one of the things which really causes me to reflect. My parents died 22 years ago, Aunt Dot died several years ago. Dad's brothers are still living, although Uncle Shag struggles with the effects of a stroke. It won't be long until the generation I have relied on at least for emotional support will be gone. I will be at the top of the food chain, so to speak.
Why do we have to get older? I was just thinking something similar, this is just the beginning...I love all those people, can't we just freeze them at a certain age so we can ALWAYS enjoy them? Love you mom and know you and Aunt Shelley would be great at the top for the next generation!
ReplyDeleteWont it be crazy when we all pass on and all the sudden we are all brothers and sisters again as well as aunts and uncles? It boggles my mind to think of the conversations we will have there, and to think how much each of our opinions will be valued. Craaaazy.
ReplyDeleteWow! Brytani, that is a deeeeeep thought. I like it. I Wonder if our parents will still act like parents or will we be more like peers or will the last generations born to earth actually be the oldest (and wisest?) in eternity? I am so thankful for the gospel.
