Life is short
So I know people say all the time that life is short and you need to live every day like it's your last because you never know when it will end, but people don't always listen. Well I just got home from a funeral of a lady who was a great example of someone who lived each day as if it was her last, and her death really did come sudden and unexpected. Her name is Kelly, she was only 47, a mother of two kids-an 18 year old boy, Ty, and a 15 year old girl, Bryn, and she had a great life with lots of it left to live. She had a brain anurism(I dont know if I spelt that right but oh well) and it popped I guess and she fell out of bed and into a coma last Thursday night and died Saturday, well, she was pronounced dead Saturday, but they think she died Friday. She was brain dead from the blood and fluid in her brain. It was so sad. Our families were really close, she was like my mom's sister, only not. It was a terribly sad funeral. She touched so many people's lives that from before 4:00(when the funeral officially started) until 7:00(when the casket was closed and the service started) there was a huge line of people, oftentimes stretching out to the street from inside the curch. I waited in line for about 1/2 hour and I was in line inside the foyer of the church, so you can only imagine how long the people at the street waited. My step dad even said that he hadn't seen a crowd that size at a funeral since Princess Diana. For the service the whole church was filled, and there were people standing and sitting downstairs and in a side room(both were pretty full I heard) where they could only hear the service and they couldn't even hear it. It was so amazing to see how many lives she had touched. And I know that there were people who's lives she touched that weren't there also. She really lived her life to the fullest and completed her mission. It was sad yet happy at the same time. I am very glad to have known her and to have been a part of her life and to have had her be a part of mine. She was more to me then just my mom's really good friend. Back before high school me, Zach, Ty, and Bryn were all best friends and we did so much together and Kelly was like our second mom. She was always there for people and a really great person and she will be missed greatly.
