Many reached out to my family when my mom passed away. She had so many friends in her lifetime. People move on but there are still those who are not quite, lamenting the loss. My mother would have wanted everyone to move on fast though. I would want the same when I'm gone. I hope those who I will leave behind find the strength and courage to carry on and not dwell too much on my passing.

I suppose it's a matter of personal perception...

You've really given me good food for thought there, Tina, as always. Thank you so much for sharing this. I may not know your brother during his lifetime but I will always remember him :)
