By Bernard Bujold -
One of my close friends buried his daughter, who was barely 40 years old, on Saturday, August 23.
My friend is very religious and wanted a ceremony worthy of his daughter and his god!
I like my friend, and we have a great understanding when it comes to society events. I also believe in God, but I don't have the same perception of God as my friend...
I comforted him during our many conversations about his daughter, but I did not attend the funeral!
There are two social events that I never attend:
1. Weddings (I consider the love between two people to be private and unrelated to a wedding ceremony);
2. Funerals, because in my opinion, death is a very intimate event. When I die, I will not want a funeral...
My friend won't hold my absence from the funeral against me because he has long been familiar with my philosophy on funerals and weddings.
I have also often repeated my thoughts on death to him:
“We must live with the living and leave the dead with the dead.”
Have a great end to the summer of 2025!
