A mourning and A great thing
So today was the memorial service for a woman named Dorothy Smith who died in September of 2007. She was a woman well liked and loved by many. Her memorial service was nearly a year after her death, however it worked out for the best. A family that has not been this reunited in about 15 years, was able to come together to bid farewell to their mother, grandmother, aunt, great aunt, friend, etc. Many kind words were said, many thoughts and feelings shared.
On top of that a great thing happened, a stubborn man, who had a feud with his mother, which had separated him from much of his family, got up this courage to accept what he had done wrong and apologized for it. This lead to a lot of the reasons for feuding and bad blood to go away. With such simple words as “I would like to apologize to my family for being a stubborn old bastard.” (followed by apologizing to his mother’s gravestone for his “French”, and more to the family) This lead into some of the more prominent family members coming forth and accepting his apology with warm embraces and reuniting (for the most part) this disjointed family. Something like this helps me see that sometimes there is hope even in places that seemed hopeless. Good Job, and I hope this works well.
After this the family returned to the house of their parent’s (now owned by the youngest of the children) for a gathering/celebration of Dot’s life, that went on for hours and went real well. A celebration where a child of the man who mended his ties, finally felt like he was getting to know the family he never really knew. He enjoyed this quite a bit, and so did the family seem to. Hopefully they all keep in touch with each other over the upcoming years, I’m sure they’ll need it.
Good Luck Smiths and I am sure if there is an afterlife, “Dot” will be watching over all of you.
