Today – a birthday and a
funeral.
Today is my birthday. There is no cake with candles or wrapped presents,
but there are people, many people so much that the small church is full to
capacity. No one is singing Happy
Birthday, but there is singing. There is
no champagne for a toast, but - one by one, people toast as they share
loving memories.
Today – a birthday and a
funeral.
A birthday signifies a
celebration of happiness, the end of one year and the movement into the beginning
of another year.
A funeral also signifies
a celebration of home going - the end of one way of life and the beginning of a
new way of life.
Yes, today I celebrate my
birthday as another new brighter beginning and yes, today we celebrated a new brighter
beginning for our beloved Sam!
Yes, today a birthday,
and a funeral – celebrating endings as the start of yet, a new beginning.
