Instead of the regular birthday bash on his 90th, his church and family had a wonderful party that was basically a memorial service. People told the story of his life, shared their fondest memories, and openly shared their love and admiration for him. It was really powerful and even better than his funeral a few years later.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how exactly this fits, but I also keep thinking about rites of passage in association with your thoughts. I love celebrating life events - baptisms, births (like our baby blessings), adolescence, etc. in creative ways. I think that we could honor others in personal and profound ways by celebrating important life passages more often and more creatively.<BR/><BR/>Let us know how your thoughts continue to form on this.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163449866507673974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544986763270525626.post-7493836376346554022007-07-28T15:05:00.000-07:002007-07-28T15:05:00.000-07:00No advice from me, but thanks for these words.

The "constant example" nature of my job tends to make it difficult to turn off the professional filter that some think should be in place all the time. But this is me... as I am. And some times I think stuff stinks. And I appreciate the fact that you know when I can and cannot filter... me.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745095198491060149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544986763270525626.post-58801679438936799722007-07-27T23:13:00.000-07:002007-07-27T23:13:00.000-07:00Mama Leah.
