Last night, I sat with a friend and watched a photo video that was put together to remember my nephew Clarence. It was a collage of photos, a video and a voice exerpt of Clarence's life. It was a necessary reminder of the life that Clarence lived and how I (as well as all my family) was able to be a part of it.
I thought it would be sad. I thought maybe I'd blow through a box of tissues. That was not the case. Yeah, there were some tears. There were moments I could not breath. But I was happy, in remembrance of him. The photos painted a tapestry of the life he lived. It doesn't take much to realize he was a joyful young man. He enjoyed life. He almost always had a smile on his face.
A friend reminded me, it's good to remember. And it's good that my family has this video to remember and see the happy times.
