One of the sad parts of life is losing a parent. This week one of my brother-in-laws experienced the death of his father. With his mother and his 6 siblings they faced that long final process of saying goodbye. There were tears as well as laughter over several days ( and I'm sure more to come). Our hearts are sad for him and his family. What can we do? Our support was to attend the funeral and offer our condolences.
My sister-in-law lost her father several months ago. This past weekend she and her 9 siblings hosted a memorial picnic for Maynard. There were over 140 family members there! He always had a chicken BBQ every summer when he returned to the area, so that was the menu for the picnic. Again, what could we do? Our support this time was to man the kitchen and help with setup, the serving of the food and the cleanup. Family is so dear and just being there for each other is at times is the best we can do.
Rest in peace Big Ed and Maynard.
