Eventually you'll feel lucky...

This weekend we had attended a visitation (wake) for Todd's Aunt's (by marriage) father. Todd's cousin Jeremy was very sad...and rightly so. Being there brought thoughts back to my Grandpa Meiners' funeral and passing...

The fist thing that comes to me to tell him is that "soon you'll feel lucky"...and I asked if he "knew what I ment?" He said he did... That's the thing with grandparents that pass. Yes you are sad they are gone. Yes you miss them. You think of them when you see their picture or that gift they gave you as a child. But in the end what I've been left with is a feeling that I was so lucky to have them in my life. So lucky to share 7up on a Sunday night, or conversations of days gone by...

One would suppose that this would be true of most anyone's passing once you get past all of the regrets, sadness and mourning... Some take a long time to get there where others start out here.
All this makes me think in all of this that I'm going through...will I feel lucky...maybe...but, right now not so much...
