Yesterday was aged ma funeral. I wrote and spoke the Eulogy.
Aged pa held my hand throughout the ceremony.
I would like to share the great love that these two precious souls shared. Aged pa put a card on ma flowers that read "I shall love you till the day I die and beyond"
This is the end of my Eulogy in which we discussed aged ma five passions, Education, Travel, Chocolate, Family, and this is the last one:
------------------------
Aged ma’s final passion is Aged pa
The handsome marine uniformed man who has taken her heart. Who took her dancing and whom she calls twinkle toes.
With aged pa she found a way of combining all of her passions, her love of learning and house room for gadgets, her shared joy in travel and encompassing new journeys to new destinations. A common commitment to family and friends with food and celebration at their core. He shared her passions along with his own.
I think if aged ma were able to end this speech she would say “thank you aged pa for sharing my life, for travelling this journey with me, for commitment to the principles of education and family life. She would whisper I love you, you have cared for me and loved me deeply until my last breath. You have been my dancing partner in life and my deepest abiding passion. Please celebrate my life my lover, my friend, my husband.”
I want for each reader of this post a deep and meaningful love.

The ending of your Eulogy was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you for sharing this.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
What an amazing person. You know, years ago I never really understood why people were so amazed when couples celebrated a 50 year anniversary. I took it for granted, like a birthday. I didn't understand what it took from those in the marriage to find a way to choose to continue to be loving. Now I know how hard that is. I am not that impressed with professional athletes, CEO's, or movie stars, but when I see someone with a husband and daughter that can say those things about her, well, she has my deepest admiration.

Vanilla, I hope you find your Twinkle Toes when you are ready, and that someday someone reads a eulogy about you that shows the same abiding love and appreciation that you deserve. You are a good daughter to your parents.
