Why is there a memorial service for your Grandfather that passed away 5 years ago? I'm lost.

Everyone is just getting together at his grave site for prayers and memories. At the time of his funeral, most of my mom's siblings didn't even recognize each other. Some haven't seen each other in 30 years. They are spread out from Ontario to BC! And most haven't seen each other since the funeral either. So it's just a chance for everyone to get together and remember him.

So it's actually kind of a reunion.

Sort of, yes, in memory of my grandpa. I believe there will be someone from the Catholic church there as well.

Buried my Mother a year ago today. I woke up to realize that I don't want to remember the day she died - I want to remember the days she lived. I'm incredibly sad that she's not here with me, and will be until the day I die, but I think she's so happy.

I think that's the best way to remember someone, Sandy. Not by their death but by how they lived. When I become sad over losing someone I try to remember them laughing and enjoying life. That's how I want to be remembered.

Sandy...I feel the same about my dad. He's been gone a long time....36 years next month on the 13th. I can't believe it's been that long because it hurts as though it was yesterday. I just try to focus on the good memories I have and how much I loved him....and he loved me.
