Euology
Eulogy For My Parents
Truth, it tasks us. It's also something I fear at times because it can hold both beauty and brutality. But, I was blessed to learn that a long life can bring both wisdom and balance to that dichotomy.
My mother and father both knew their days were coming to an end and both made efforts to share, what they could of that wisdom. That honest love redefined my understanding of wisdom. A very precious gift that I was allowed to share with them, and learn from them.
Wisdom is not an oracle, or proof against wrong - it's simply knowledge in the hands of those who can't always change their flaws. And so, wisdom is painful following a long life, knowing you can't always right the wrongs. But, in a near desperate sense, a desire to teach is as much as can be done, before the song ends and life is gone.
I was blessed to have that time with Mom & Dad when that poignance struck its cord. Wisdom shall never be the same for me. I love you both dearly and, I will carry on.
