We just got back from sister-in-law's funeral. It was held in my dh's hometown and pretty much all the siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins came. It was such an emotional time, re-bonding with the family and also visiting the parents and grandparents already in the cemetary. We looked at old family photos and shared memories... my heart is so full.
This was a sad time but also a blessing of healing of relationships, and a reminder of how short and how fragile life is. Treat your loved ones well and never miss an opportunity to tell them you love them!
