When someone dies, hopefully, people come to pay their last respects. The manner they come would have been determined by their relationship to the dead person.

Some people come out of obligation. Some come just to show off that they come. Some come out of respect to the remaining family. And some come because they have had a positive relationship with the dead person.

All these were shaped by how the person lived.

Everybody dies alone. But some go out celebrated by those left behind.

Lord,
please help me live a life
that brings joy to others.
