Today I went to a funeral of a woman in my ward that passed away from brain cancer. Their situation was very similar to my mom's and it brought back a lot of memories. She died young, left 5 kids - 3 girls, and her husband is in the bishopric. She's an amazing woman, that just like my mom, gave service to all around her.
As I was sitting in the funeral listening to her sweet daughters stand together and give memories of their mom, just as my brother and sisters did, it reminded me how much something like that can bond you together. It also made me realize how much I miss my siblings. I don't see them as much as I used to.
Elder Holland ended the funeral and reminded us that funerals are good because they give us a chance to take stock of our lives and see where we need to change. This made me think of the goals I had made when my mom passed and I realized I have not been doing well. So here goes another try to be more charitable like my mom and neighbor. Lets hope it sticks this time! Because of all this, I decided to go home and have a sweats day, it's been a while.
