When I tell people that I work at a banquet hall they immediately reply "how fun!" I admit, most of the time it is fun, it is enjoyable, and it is helping people have the best time of their lives....
And then there are days like today...
Standing in the back of the ballroom watching a mother and father take the podium to thank all of their family, friends, and friends of their son. Their son that they have just watched be put into the ground. Their son who was far to young to be taken away. Their son who was still a child, and still had hopes, dreams, ambitions, and what should have been a lifetime to make them all come true. Their son.
With tears rolling down my cheeks I thanked God for the time that I have had and told him that I cherish every minute that he gives me, even if I forget to thank him sometimes...
I pray that his family and friends find peace, and that he is watching down on each and everyone of them as they remember him and all of the joy he brought into their lives, all of the laughs that he created, and all of the memories that can never by taken away.
