In my family, my sisters and I are becoming the older generation. We need to be mindful of the flock our elders leave for us.<br /><br />Yes, sometimes we yearn to talk to our grandparents or parents who have gone on ahead of us, but it so much easier to go the funeral of someone who also trusted in God.
