I know that most of us are not new to this. This isn't the first funeral we've been to. We have all lost a parent, a brother or sister, a child before this, someone. Not only does each funeral not prepare us for all the other funerals it probably makes each loss more and more painful. Every time we walk into a funeral we remember all those we attended before, all those we've lost and our heart breaks just a little more.
For many years Maurice was like a father to me. He loved my mom... then me, and then my children. I haven't seen him in many years but that doesn't change the things I know.
I know that he loved my mom and she loved him. She knew that in the hard times that no matter what, she could depend on him, that he would be there. He would get every thing taken care of and she knew it would be okay. And then he would play golf! Probably after football though! I know every year they had their teams and who got what and Super Bowl and all that... I quit paying attention because really if it wasn't about Terry Bradshaw or the Steelers, who cares??!! Sundays and Mondays and the pot of soup and the games. Pinoccle and cribbage long ago. Trips to places warm and sunny and now living on golf course! The things and locations change but always the same was them together..
My kids... He was a hands on grandpa, especially when they were little. They were easy to pick up and off they went to plow snow in the winter or putz around on the golf cart in the summer doing yard work. He would make up stories about Wayne Gretzky and eating peas so they would eat their vegetables at dinner. Going to their games or taking them to hit balls at the driving rand, he always supported them in what they loved and include them in what he loved.
Probably the hardest thing in the world is to be with someone when they die. Probably also the best. I can't imagine what it was like, but I am glad they had each other that night. Not only was he always there for her, she was always there for him and if you knew them, you know it would always be that way.
When we make the choice to attend a funeral its really a testament to how much we loved that person and the family. Thank you for caring about Maurice and his family.
Much love to you all... Shawna
