Death Is So Unfair/
I still remember the funeral of my wife, having caught pneumonia while battling heart disease and battling cancer--Lukemia.
The very moving non-religious ceremony involved our friends, brother, and his wife, her sisters and brothers, neices and nephews. We never had children, we were too busy with our careers, and by the time that was over, our ages were a factor. We never missed having children because we were always surrounded by her nieces and nephews. Her younger sister gave a summation to Marty's boundless love and devotion to family and friends.

I stumbled through a poem she wrote me several years before titled "I will always love you."
She was cremated and placed in a vault, and at that time, I also purchased the same for me.
The death of my wife seems so unfair to me that the woman who so wittily requested this the things said and done at her funeral, couldn't know how much joy and love she brought to others.
I too wanted to die, and fell into a heavy depression for a time, and just couldn't stay there after her passing. I was fortunate that my brother and his wife invited me into their home, and I know if they hadn't I wouldn't be here today, because I think I would have taken my own life. I didn't want to live withour her. Sometimes I feel her presence, and that is the thing that saved me from death myself.

Still I think death is so unfair. It is unfair for the ones of us who remain.
