A while back I wrote a Eulogy for my grandmother’s ash ceremony. In it, I talked about all the things that come to mind when I think of my grandma.

A couple of weeks later it was Mother’s Day, and it got me thinking that I can also write a small tribute to my mom, in the same way, that I did for my grandmother.

Why does it seem like we always wait until people are dead before we decide to say nice things about them?

And, well, now of course it is Father’s Day, so guess what!?

Dad, you are next.

I won’t do this every year, I promise!
