Merritt/January2015

So this past weekend we went to a funeral, long time acquaintance/friend. Saying that in last 10 years maybe 15 this group of people I, we used to hang with has slowly dissipated ... not sure why I guess we all got older and our interests changed.
So at the celebration of life I as usual sat back and people watched and a lot of these people who were in the group were there of course ... showing their respect for their old friend/buddy. And again I was doing my analyzing of them all lol ... wondering what drives people apart. Me included as I guess I am as guilty as the rest. most of use I would say are in out 60"s and as we all know no one lives for ever.
Money making, family feuds lol ... religion ... drinking and not so much drinking ... everyone trying to get ahead and in some case at the loss of family ties and comradeship for lack of a better way of saying it.
The only positive thing is the deceased friend if you cab find something positive in dying ... is he died at the respectful age of 85 and in his sleep no pain so to speak and what else can we ask for ....

Confused.
