I met one of Brads former work mates and he was just very,very nasty.The first thing he asked me is how did he die? and since I do not know him I feel this is personal and none of his business.The next question that he asked me if Brad left me any money and I felt insulted.Who is this person?Why are people so obessesed with money and fame? Cant a person die who is strugggling and not leave any? The money that Brad left me was not much and I had to pay the rent and take care of the house.It is gone and I am trying to get a part time job as I am still struggling.To be asked constantly how did he die or what the cause shows how shallow we have become.All we care about is sports and politics and what Barbara Walters has on her man hating show.I saw The View just once and I am asking you who is she kidding? These women dont like anyone and i feel sorry for there mates.So now that I have come across as being down right nasty let me mellow out.Lets teach each other the choice of good words when death does call.Asking a young widow at a funeral parlor how is she going to pay for the funeral and asking her about money and such happens to be none of anyones concern or business.If you are so concerned..how about a donation? Give the widow a cash donation of at least 100.00 and if she has small children..why not take the family to a dinner? If she is so depressed...how about coming over and talking.How about asking her if she needs a housekeeper and Pay for it yourself? This person did notthing but anger me and it shows.But we must learn that not everyone has got money (including me) and I dont have the opportunity or know the right people to start a business or such.I am 66 years old and in October I will be 67 and I am too old to start over.Starting over takes time and money..I dont have money and I just cannnot do it and I refuse to leave Seattle.So lets be mature about the choice of words that we use and think before you speak....Jimminy Cricket said so.I hope that people dont think I am bitter..but I am not and I am living my life again..but when you see or meet someone whom you do n ot know and they do not know you...it is up to them to be mature and not care what a widow with her time.Someday they will be in the same boat ...so lets be kind to one another and remember if you do not know the person...please do not ask.vader.
