Another Funeral

I went to another funeral today. My neighbor’s son was struck by a car while crossing a street in Midland, Texas. He was only 25 years old. It’s all so sad. I think the hardest thing in the world is to lose one of your children. The next hardest, is to lose a spouse, and the third hardest is to lose a parent. I’m not a very religious person, so death seems awfully final to me. And funerals so close to Christmas, are even harder. My dad died in December of 1983. It ruined the Holidays that year, and I still think about him every Christmas. I have another funeral, for one of my cousins, to go to tomorrow (Sunday) in Beaumont, TX. I'll have to miss Halfmoon's anniversary run, which I really wanted to participate in.
