I was at a funeral last night to which over 600 people attended. That has got to say a lot about the individual! He was fun-loving, caring, outgoing and congenial. A bit of a trickster too (correction: a lot of trickster) helping to either draw people or turn them away. In his case, it seemed to draw them. Not that numbers indicate popularity as state funerals and big name celebrities often have "extras" with gawkers or groupies attending on the sidelines. But these people were there simply encouraging and supporting family and friends, acknowledging a fine man. Rest in peace, Harry.
How do you sum up a man's life in pictures? 25 good ones or 100 not so good or a 1,000 of everything they were able to find? Not sure if you enjoy looking at other people's pictures but I sure do. They tell a story. For Harry, family and friends were a priority. Volunteering obviously enjoyable to him as he did so much of it. Being in the thick of things, helping wherever he could.
The rest of us will now simply cherish any memories we have of him. It might do us all well to follow his example of helping others. Not to 'get the numbers' attending our funeral but to enjoy the fruits of our labor while we still have opportunity to do so.
Enjoy your day and make it even better by sharing yourself with others.
