Often times people send flowers when someone dies, I sincerely believe with respect, that if you cannot send flowers when they are living, hold off on sending them when they die. It is interesting how life can be like a flower, for a flower starts off as a seed, much like that of child in the mother’s womb. With love and care it is planted, and develops. Over time it requires care and nourishment, much like a child does, and it develops and grows and finally as it matures it blossoms, often times along the way do to carelessness it might wither and loose its ability to bear flowers, like in life we often we do not find enough love and therefore never blossom like a healthy plant, other times, our life mimics a flower fed with Miracle grow plant food and we not only have one flower but blossom with many flowers and roots are strong and well developed and we continue to have beautiful flowers our whole life.
My uncle Paul was like a flower fed with Miracle grow, life was good, and the soil used to raise him had strong moral fiber, and good quality character, he found true love when he married Catherine and was committed to her till he died. He raised a family with those same characteristics and qualities. I always respected my uncle, and listened intently when he spoke or gave his opinion, because it was worth it. It was knowledge I could trust and learn from. I will not cry for it is best said, we are brought up crying while everyone watches our birth happy, and when we die, we will be eternally happy with the Lord while everyone around is crying. It is the way life should be. I will close this blog by offering a simple pray to those who knew a great man.
Dear Lord,
Paul Solinick lived a good life and showed that love for one woman is not a thing of the past; he cared for others, served his country, and walked a life full of integrity, morals, and honesty. I pray to you today not for Paul, but rather for his wife, children and the people who will surely miss him. Give them peace and let them find sleep and be able to move on without regret To know him and love him, regardless of last time they saw him, let his memories continue on. Grant courage to his wife, to be able to move forward and life her life like he would have wanted; Happy, not sad with grief.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
