What can one really say to a friend to make them feel better when a loved one passes away? My friend Ashley lost her Grandmother Wednesday Morning and the funeral was today. I wante dot say something, ANYTHING to make her feel atleast a fraction of a bit better but I couldn't think of anything that isn't overly said and diluted from everyone saying it over and over. Hopefully just knowing I cared enough to be there lightened her heart just a bit.
I also know what is like to loose a loved one especially a grandparent. It eats away at you at first because you hope you were a good enough grandchild and you hope you made them proud. I know alot of people tend to take advantage of their grandparents because they know that they will give them pretty much anything they want. I've been guilty of it myself, but please keep in mind that your grandparents for the majority are the ones that would take care of yolu if your mom and dad wern't there.
Today as well made me think about my own life. I can sit here and hope that I'm doing good and possibly convince myself that I am but I know in the back of my mind there is so much I could do to better myself as a friend and a son.
Death is a funny thing. It really makes you think about your own life and tends to make you guage it out a little bit more then you normally would. In closing I just want to stress this one fact. Don't take advantage of your loved ones no matter what...when its their time you yourself will be asking if you were a good enough Grandchild or child or brother, sister, friend....I would hope everyone here can say that they were.
