I wonder often; if there is anyone left. Anyone left to carry on the wonderful memories, knowledge of the way things once were. Back when life was simply a time to cherish. The roaring laughter, the punch lines that seemed to never end! One joke would continue to get funnier with each contributor. Each adding their own precisely timed puns; to the already ROFLOAO funny joke!!! We could laugh at ourselves and each other for the cost of a red face. Your stomach muscles ached so good and tears of joy would roll. Occasionally I wonder if that kind of happiness will ever exist again.
Are we slowing losing our laughter to the point of extinction? Are the days when you could breathe in and out like clockwork seizing to exist? Will the next generation be as forgiving and understanding as this crazy and fun past generation. I not only miss these amazing times of love, liberty and laughter; I miss my "people" dearly.
I hope that the next generation can experience this type of happiness with their family (new and old). That they can find it in their heart to be compassionate and understanding towards all others; not just family. If you have a passion for people, your "family" has no limits.
Some families stay large and grow rapidly; while others experience many loses, sooner as opposed to later. This generation of our family has experienced many of those over the past century. My heart aches, not only for my very up-close-and-personal loss of my eldest Son, but also for the numerous other family members as well as others that are experiencing the same tragic loss (the lose of an offspring). You know it is in the history that we must care for and then bury our parents; but you never want to experience losing your children, no matter how old they are.
You don't feel much like laughing after these events. That is where faith comes in and you must use it. So, my hope is that people will try not to be so mean to others, because you just never know when your time is up; you don't want to have any regrets.
So, my advice (take it or leave it) is to Laugh as hard as you Love; And Live like it is your Last Day! Stay true to yourself and others, and leave a little wiggle room for mistakes; but fix them fast. Dream with goals to achieve them; Work Hard and Play Safe!
