A Time of Remembrance...

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. 

As I posted on my FB status last night:
I am remembering... and remembering is not always sad.  I was reminded, there are Happy memories and those...are worth remembering.
