the thought of Death...can be uplifting

I was driving and I found myself getting a bit emotional...why?

Well I was fantasizing about my own eventual funeral and reactions of people at the funeral. A bit morbid but I'm sure most people do this once in a while as a passing thought. I was picturing friends and relatives and how sad they would be when this does occur. Pretty vain, right?

Then I thought about my 3 week old son and how it would be for him to grow up without his father....this is the thought that got to me. I immediately missed the smell on his head and the warmth I felt when I kissed it.

Having a child is a strange experience to say the least, but feels more natural and comfortable than I had guessed.
