Rest in peace

Post by Crackpot »

My Great uncle Jake died last night surrounded by his family. He will be missed.

I suck at eulogizing. He lived his life well and was respected by all and I will miss him greatly.
:cry:
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

My condolences CP.

Glad you gave him a great-great nephew before he passed on. Condolences.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I wish he would have had the chance to meet him.

Although I have experienced a great amount of death in my life, I have no words to give that you that will make this experience easier, or even more educational.

The older I get, the more I accept life's inevitable end.

I am sure your great uncle was as proud as punch of you Crackpot, and even though he hadn't met little Crackers, he would have been pleased to have learnt of his existence.

We all want a taste of immortality. You have provided him with an off-shoot for his DNA.

You've done good CP. Now heal your sorrow.
Bah!

Ahhh well. That fucked that then.

:)

Still, life goes on in many forms and you have fond memories of him.

That can count for a lot.
Bah!
