I Am At That Age

I'm at that age where I go to more funerals than weddings.

Of course I get invited to my children's, niece's, nephew's, grandchildren's,

and pretty soon,

if I am as fortunate to live as long as my

Dad,

who will be 96 this year,

I will be going to my great grandchildren's weddings.

It sounds like a lot but compared to

2 to 3

funerals per year,

it's not even close.

You always feel you have more time with loved ones until the

Grim Reaper

sneaks up on one of your family members.

Enough of my morbid train of thought.

The only thing I enjoy when someone dies is when family

and friends get together

and tell their favorite stories about the deceased.

I got to tell my family about how I met my wife, where we went on our honeymoon,

and some of my favorite moments I got to share with my wife.

Then I got to hear stories told by other people.

I was smiling ear to ear listening to everyone.

If I were you,

I would gather all my loved ones together this coming weekend

and start telling your favorite stories about each person.

You will be amazed when everyone joins in

and tell their stories.

This is,

The Best Part Of Waking Up?

Loved Ones In Your Life!

Jim Hauenstein

“A musician is similar to someone who wrote a letter to a loved one. They decided to read read it out loud instead of sending it.”

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
