RE: Have You Amounted to Something?

in Silver Bloggers2 years ago

Judging or 'rating' people on their 'achievements' is very immature. I believe those people fail to grasp the real significance of life!
I lost my hubby recently and am very proud of his achievements, not in a boastful manner, but mostly proud that he remained humble, and made time for everyone.
It used to amaze me how he knew the car guards (yes, we need them in SA) by name and would speak to them with respect, whereas the majority of people look down on them!
The number of people from all walks of life who came to his memorial service, was testament to a life well-lived, characterized by selflessness.
Your blog hit the nail on the head!

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your hubby. He sounds like he was an amazing man. Those who show love and respect for everyone in every walk of life probably the most deserving of admiration and respect themselves.

My friend recently lost her husband at just 57 years old. They are both beautiful people and the memorial was a crowded as I expected. Many of us only got to see it through live link, too as we're scattered across the country and world. Souls like this are taken far too soon and the world needs more of them.

I'm sorry for only responding now @minismallholding, appreciate your kind thoughts.
Awe that is so young! My heart goes out to her, I never ever realized losing a life partner would be this heartwrenching!
He was an amazing and very special man!
So many questions, mixed feelings, emotions swinging between acceptance and despair, and extreme sadness, it's very confusing!

No apology needed. I can only imagine how it must feel and that's bad enough. My heart aches for both of you.
