Everyone who was alive on this planet once had a body, a mind, a spirit.

When they pass away, all that's left is ashes and bones.

Memories live on, but the touch is gone. 

The purpose of funerals that follow after death also made me wonder. 

Is it really to mourn the death of the deceased or is it to meet up and chat? 

Some people treat a funeral for people to come together and yes, be depressed and talk about the deceased, but then move on and catch up on life. 

A dead person doesn't stop the world. Life goes on, people move on.

Either way, it's for the living, not the dead.

It's for the living to remember that person, to miss that person, and move on knowing that that person is gone but will always be in our hearts. 

Losing a loved one is always hard, especially if it comes unexpected. But I expected it, so why did it still hit me so hard? The thought of never ever being able to be there with that person again just hurts. Not being able to take care of her, not being able to hold her hand, not being able to smile while looking at her across the room. Gone, all gone. But I have no regrets. I spent what time I could spare with her, and I treated her sincerely and loved her with my heart. 

Now everytime I see her, I'll die a little inside. I'll miss her. At the same time, I'll smile and know she's happy. Not worrying about me, because I'll live on well. It's what she'll want. She wants me to come home for dinner, and she wants me to keep warm. Each time, I will accept the fact that life not only goes on, but has to go on even better. Because she inspired me to. She'll always be watching over me, and she'll always be with me.
