Robert, that was the most beautiful eulogy I have read. Thank you for writing it and for sharing it. You are right in saying that sharing eulogies may channel thoughts of value to others. It certainly did for me. Your father would be proud to know the man you have become.
A wonderful Eulogy Robert! Sorry to hear of your loss.
"Memento Mori" is an important meditation ( and were two words I even also uttered in conversation over the last weekend believe it or not.) I remember my teacher speaking of Thomas Merton who used memento mori.
He said death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected.
As inadequate as words often are at touching, evoking, or expressing actual soul life, this eulogy does give rise to some acute awareness of life's minute but cumulative meanings. It is a gift and a rendered, perhaps pious, service to find this freely offered. Thank you Robert !
