Daddy was absolutely heartbroken. Both my parents were. It is not natural for parents to lose children and thank goodness I can only imagine the grief they feel. I am sorry you lost your brother when he was so young.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-20859884446965247892016-03-28T08:05:31.190-05:002016-03-28T08:05:31.190-05:00missing our love ones especially one such festival...missing our love ones especially one such festivals is natural ,<br /><br />my one brother passed away when he was only thirteen he was two years older then me ,i still remember when on every especial occasions my mother used to remember and cry as he died just while ago i grew up watching all this but more then the death of my brother hurts me the memory of my mom's such sad behavior bailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-34079894879509368482016-03-27T13:21:47.307-05:002016-03-27T13:21:47.307-05:00It is good to be reminded of the ones who are now ...It is good to be reminded of the ones who are now gone.

It reminds us what a great and caring person he was to us. But my favorite picture of him is him sleeping in his chair and holding my oldest son who is also sleeping. It shows the love he had for his family.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-40351742927479215452016-03-27T13:18:09.484-05:002016-03-27T13:18:09.484-05:00My father received such joy from celebrating anyth...My father received such joy from celebrating anything with family.

We think of them often and the wonderful time we had with them. Now they are only in our memory. Perhaps we would have saved some photos of them and look at them with fond memories.<br /><br />I used to have wonderful Christmas when my children we small. But now they have grown big and gone away from my home to make a life for themselves. Yet those fabulous days of enjoyment,fun and laughter remain in my memory.<br /><br />Wonderful post.<br /><br />Happy Easter to you and your family Joseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-67425036739308052822016-03-27T07:00:18.095-05:002016-03-27T07:00:18.095-05:00This was a very touching post, Emma, and it expres...This was a very touching post, Emma, and it expressed things that happen or stop happening when beloved family members pass one, it seems that traditions may go with them as well.

Either way I believe that the traditions are a good thing.

I think my grandchildren are left to making their own traditions.<br />My own mother died at Easter, years ago. The funeral was beautiful, attended by many, many who loved her. We had it on the day after Easter, that year. My birthday. When my brother's funeral was on my daughter's birthday a couple of years ago, we had a little chuckle.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-66604028225013201132016-03-25T09:23:41.567-05:002016-03-25T09:23:41.567-05:00Now that is a coincidence, Emma: in my last post a...Now that is a coincidence, Emma: in my last post about rituals (I wrote it half an hour ago and had had no time to look at other blogs) I mentioned the grief one feels when someone has left and a feast is coming. <br />I'm glad for the children that you celebrated Easter again.
