Day Three: Empty shell

"For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. And their love, and their hatred, and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5 & 6

There is no spirit of Grandma looking down on us from Heaven sending her love to the group of her grand kids. While it is a comforting thought, it's totally incorrect. So as we gathered on that hillside to pay respects to our Grandma for her birthday had she lived, it occurred to me that this little reunion of cousins was not for Grandma, but for us. It was for our benefit to meet so we could bring our sorrow and grief to the surface so that the living could comfort each other and solidify our group bonds. So that we could all share in the memories and be enriched by her stories. So we wouldn't forget her.

We still think of you and we miss you.
