I felt lately that I need a small vacation, and I planned to fly today to Finland. But last evening, someone called me?to tell me ?that one of my former?s workmate from orphanage daughter died? two days ago, and funeral would be today. We have been working 4 years together, and her daughter, interested in psychology, always wanted to meet me. And being abroad now for several years, I have been told by one taxi-driver, the same who called, that he gave? her a lift very ofter from work and she was asking about me, if he knew how I am, what I am doing. And since I was home this summer? she was in mind, she knew I am home, she wanted to meet me. I saw her husband maybe two weeks ago, wanted to go talked to him and asked about her, i heard she is ill. But I didn?t, and felt sorry since after.
And yesturday, when I found out I was devastated. And decide to cancel my trip, and go to the funeral. I believe there are unic moments in life.
So, today I was to the forth funeral this month. First my brother?s,? two weeks after to my father? sister and husband, and the one from today, of a 26 years old girl. About my aunt and uncle?s funeral was interesting.A few hours after ?uncles funeral, my aunt died. So, in the family, at a distance of 3 days, there were two funerals. In Romania, the funeral is three days after the death, of course, can be exceptions in case of dyings in hospital or abroad.
Today, I met there many of my former coleagues from orphanage, volunteers from Swedish ?organisation i used to work with for about 8 years, I met local people and people belonging to?Baptist church. And some of them, I didn?t remember their names, came talking to me.
There were many people.There were spoken ?beautiful words , and beautiful songs were sang.?The place were the?white coffin was beautifuly arrange with white dressed columns and flowers , very many beautiful flowers.
On a screen they show her face. A beautiful 26years old girl.She was smiling in the picture. And that was? a beautiful smile. The pastor was saying that she lived happy and she died happy.
I?was amazed throughout the funeral by the SILENCE: people were grieving in silence. And maybe because I was expecting family to cry out loud. As usualy is.? There were words about dignity in pain, there were words about a fest of? acceptance death with? dignity.? It might this be conected with strong belief in God, and believing death is a relief in suffering.
The pastor said that this is not? a wail, but? a fest of leaving our worls and go joing the kingdom of God.
when funeral was finnished and the coffin was taken? out, family followed. The mother saw me.Her face was petrified and and a scared look. She touched here face to mine, and told: ? I am in peace, she went happily, I am in peace?.? and my tears were wetting her face and my face? Who could comprehend what is in a mothers heart when looses a child?
The funeral itself was beautiful and at one point I was thinking that I would like myself to be remembered like that when my time will come. So many people and friends to talk so beautifully about me and my life.
