and not been sad
 My dad rang last night to tell me that his brother in law died of a heart attack yesterday. Now we wouldn't be bowled over with grief anyhow because we don't talk to the family anymore, but normally news of a death should be sad. But I keep laughing to myself when I think of it  This guy was the funniest larger than life character who really lived life to the full and I keep picturing him dining on the finest food, sipping on the finest wine and keeling over whilst laughing his head off  Even now I'm thinking I should add an RIP to the end of me post, but I'm thinking there's no way he's resting...where ever he's gone he's causing a riot  I'm going straight to hell Exercising Squatters Rights in the A-Team thread Toots my Smutking and forum betrothed  |

I think that's a nice way to remember someone.
I'd rather people remembered me fondly than depressingly. I'd like to think I could celebrate the life and not mourn the death, but I guess it depends on the situation. |

You aren't going straight to hell Temps you are remembering as he wanted to be remembered, as a hell raiser and humourous , that's not bad.
and yes one of my member of family passing was not something to be sad over for me anyway *Momma of the A team thread.* ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥.. We beat together... We are now on the run we have been discovered... Critical adorer of the Captain and the Scam Artist ♥♥ |

Oh I hope he gets a good 'send off' as opposed to a funeral...he was a hoot ...very bossy though...he never found out that it was me that stole a slice of his cake haa haa  or maybe he did and that's what caused the heart attack  Exercising Squatters Rights in the A-Team thread Toots my Smutking and forum betrothed |

My dad died just over four weeks ago. I miss him terribly and it is only now that the grief is hitting me like a sledge hammer. We gave him a great send off though - one of which he would have greatly approved. A long eulogy that was humourous and that recounted happy memories that we and his grandchildren had of him. His favourite hymns and a relatively brief service.
Temps, it is great that you have such a terrific memory of this man who has passed away - hold on to that. In time perhaps the members of the family with whom you have not had any contact will want to know about your memories. Those memories are going to be so precious. On the day of the funeral, be yourself. The chief mourners will most likely be in shock and just be functioning on automatic. I find it heartening Temps that you have nothing but good to say about this man. Your post has made me smile for the first time today. Thanks. |

Hi stars My Dad died 4 years ago - my Mum six. It hurts - it still hurts and it always will. But remember sweetie - it is very very early days and you are right - it hits like a sledgehammer and is a physical pain  |

Stars...there's nothing I can say petal, except I am terribly sorry for your loss and give you a I'm glad he got the good send off he deserved When I was 8 I cracked my fingers and they were in a sling...whilst in my cousins house (this guy was her dad) I was running from the door to the car because he was bringing us to the cinema...clumsy me tripped and fell on my sore hand...he must have spent about 10 mins making sure I was okay and then let me sit in the front seat He'd be arrested for it now...but I felt like a princess.Of course I was never let live it down  I bet he's enjoying the biggest cigar where he is now  Exercising Squatters Rights in the A-Team thread Toots my Smutking and forum betrothed |

Thanks lovely Temps Your memory of your uncle when your were little is so lovely and yes, I bet he is enjoying the biggest cigar ever now. The best thing you can do for him now is to cherish your wonderful memories of him with those bubbles of laughter. Whatever you do though - don't crack any fingers in the next few days, ok ? |
