Celebrating a life well-lived

My cousin's husband died on Tuesday. He had several heart attacks earlier in the year. We had talked with him in April at my uncle's funeral mass. My husband and I had our baby granddaughter with us and she flipped things on the floor, a toy, her sock and he retrieved them. She dropped a cheerio or two on the church floor. As my husband was cleaning up, my cousin's husband said, "Don't worry. The rats will eat em." Made me laugh. We will get together next week to celebrate his sense of humor, his love of life, a life well-lived. I know when I go on, I want people to celebrate my life as I have had a life full of happiness and joy. My husband and I cooked dinner and visited with my dad yesterday. His energy level was pretty good and we talked and laughed. Each Wednesday visit is a gift since he is 92 years old and has various physical ailments.
