Depressing... you may want to pass
Today I went to my cousins funeral. I really hate these things. Especially when it's someone so young. She was 19. On Friday she was sideswiped by a car on her way home. She was engaged to be married. They used the singers who were suppose to sing at her wedding at her funeral. Absolutly horrible situation.
As some of you may remember, my Grandma Arbo passed away about a year ago. This is the part that gets depressing. I fell so horrible for my Aunt Jenny. Within almost a year she's lost both a mother and now a daughter. It's something I can't even imagine, nor do I even want to try.
It was about this time last year that we all met for my Grandma's memorial where we were meeting in her memory, and now we meet again to mourn the death of another. While Grandma lived a good long life filled with many joys and sorrows, Rebeca was merely getting started. Fortunately she lived a good life up to this point, but it shouldn't have ended this soon. No one should ever die before 30. Ever. We should have to even come close to fearing the chance of death up until that point. 30 is still way too early, but really, it's a huge tragedy for someone to pass away so early.
On a side note, guess which family member didn't show up. True there were two members who couldn't. Ben was barely able to make it back for Grandpa's funeral, who he lived with, so there was no chance for him coming. Grandpa Arbo couldn't, seeing as he's down in Florida, and the ice storm has made it hard to travel right now. I'll stop there. If you don't know, don't worry.
Throughout the funeral I couldn't help but keep thinking about this site. http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/
I have some money in my pocket right now, mostly because of my Grandma Arbo. Rebeca had already been to many places in her short time. While I've been all over this fine country, I want to go somewhere too. I need to start figuring out some logistics here, and where I want to go, but Spring and I need to see some more of this world. So many countries in Europe, and so few that I'd be able to visit, and so many that I want to see.
So yes, many thoughts running through the meat brain right now. I'll leave you on that.
Woo.
