Stephen Colbert asked his guest, Ian McKellen, “What, do you think, happens after you die?” The Shakespearean actor paused, then said, “Well, I hope there’ll be a funeral.”
It’s hard to say goodbye, but faith allows us to believe it’s only for a little while. My mom grew up amongst many cousins as close as any siblings. One of them was dubbed her “favorite little cousin” even well after their three year age difference made no difference. This cousin passed away last week after a long slow hospice in her home surrounded by her four children, their families, and many cousins. She is hard missed by many. On hearing the sad news, I was momentarily draped in sadness, followed pretty quickly by a euphoria and joy at the image of her and my mom’s reunion. I know this to be true. These amazing women taught me that this was how it was. I believe them. ❤️
