I was asked on Tuesday to do a wedding for a patient's daughter. The next day I was asked to do a funeral for the wife of a patient I had 2yrs ago.
I'm doing the wedding because I think the mother should see her daughter get married before she dies. I don't know what responsibility I have to the couple and the commitment they are making. I'll talk about marriage soon. The wedding is about wanting to make a mother smile in her last days...maybe I'm selfish.
Tonight I'll head over to an funeral home and meet a family...again. I don't even know the woman's name. I did husband/dad/granddads service in March 2011. Haven't spoken to the family since that day. Tomorrow I'll stand up again and offer something. Seems shallow...
A little bit of everything from a sometimes frantic mind trying to find peace everyday.
