Who Will Celebrate You?

After a breathtaking memorial for a man who I did not get enough moments with, I am flabbergasted at the intensity and strength of those who he loved. I can not begin to wrap my head around the loss a mother feels, even after 35 years with them. In fact, I wonder if all that time makes it even more painful. Is it better to have loved and lost or never have lost at all (isn't that how the phrase runs)? I don't know and I never want to find out. My heart aches for all of us who have lost.
