Moving Up and Moving On

2 Events in one day.

In the morning, was the funeral of my 88-year old cool lolo Ben. I say cool because at 86, he learned the internet and was an email buddy of mine.

In the evening, was the going away party for my dear friend Annette who was migrating to New Zealand with her family.

The end of life for Lolo Ben, while the start of a new life for Annette. The other full of sadness, the other, full of hope and excitement.

Lolo Ben was leaving behind his family, while Annette was finally making his family whole again.

Lolo Ben was moving up, Annette moving on.

Such is life. It goes on and on wherever you are.

I realize now that it doesn't matter where you go, what's important are the memories you leave behind.

Lolo Ben, Anette, I love you! :-)
