Eulogy For Father
Aquinas High School Its august 23, 2002, my husband forgot our anniversary. The whole day, no call or text from him. When he came home that night the way he acted, I knew he forgot. Maybe it slipped his mind? Even though it might have slipped his mind, it still hurts that he forgot. It was disappointing that he wouldn't remember our anniversary. It breaks my heart that he said absolutely nothing about today, maybe he had a long day at work. Maybe we've had so many anniversaries that this one didn't mean as much to him so he didn't care. All these questions in my head slowly brought me to tears , only God knew how much I wanted to cry , and eventually I did , that night as we lay down in bed together , so close , but yet so far apart . August 23, a day that meant so much to me, I now had a sense of resentment in my heart. Our Marriage has just taken a turn, for the worst. …show more content…
That feeling deep in my heart, our marriage was no longer the same, the passion, the strong emotion, but most of all , the love. I felt like he began to love me less and less, everything changed and slowly those same changes began to weight down my heart.
So I thought it would be a good idea to go to new York to be with my son, Joseph , but this travel would be different , this time , I decided to go without Wilson , I wanted to go by myself . When I told that I decided on going by myself, it was apparent that he took it to heart, it was unusual to travel without him. But I needed time, Time to

    Song Essay

    One night while dealing with my pain and heartache through music on the radio, I began to pray. I prayed to God that he would send me a good husband. I was very detailed about exactly what I wanted in a husband because I knew what I did not want. After my talk with God, “Making Memories of Us” came on the radio. I immediately noticed the artist’s tone of voice; he sang as if he were truly in love: “You’ve been stretched to the limits, but it’s alright now.” This one line in the last verse made a huge impact on me, and I began to cry hysterically. I was coming from a place where I couldn’t take another bad relationship. I remember thinking to myself how romantic it would be if the love of my…

    Eulogy -Robert Frost

    Robert Frost once debated whether the world ended in fire, or ice. It is a sad thought that the world will end without him; that the future generations will be privy to such events made for people like Robert. He was an inspirational, American poet who questioned the very core of our beliefs, he chose paths that few had took, and that is why today he is remembered today.…

    Some nights I dream about Michael. He’s coming home from college for christmas break and he’s brought a girl with him. Our family is sitting at the dinner table and he’s giving my sister’s new boyfriend a hard time. He’s sitting in the audience, whooping and hollering as I walk across the stage and receive my diploma. Other times, he’s standing in a waiting room, introducing my sisters and me to his little girl. I dream about all of the moments my family and I never got to have with him and my heart breaks every single time. Michael has been gone for almost 16 years and yet he is still with me every day. I dream about him and what could have been; what should have been. Michael’s death teaches me something new almost every day. I have learned what loss is, how to deal with it, and how to grow from it.…

    It is a quiet room filled with people. Most of them have smiles on their faces. Some of them are even about to have a laughter or two. Is it easy to find such a room in a university? Yes. But is it easy to find such a room where people are holding a funeral in? Absolutely no. The masterpiece-eulogy by Margaret Atwood made it possible. That is right, I am talking about “The Great Communicator”(1999), the eulogy to Northrop Frye.…

    Taking in the smell of sawdust as he works, admiring the shiny Harley Davidson, laughing as he pushes me on the makeshift swing--these are all memories that my great uncle and I created. We were two peas in a pod and could not be separated. If I ever had any kind of issue he was who I would turn to. Pa was a man who would do anything for anyone at any giving time.…

    I Father O’reilly am privileged to have gathered amongst you all today, to give another perspective of a man who was not “just Ed”. He never gave himself great value but in my eyes he was a saint walking among us. I will never forget the moments and favours that Ed has shared with me. Ed, as many would say was a useless cab driver but in truth, I would say he was more of an inspiration and certainly it was an honour to have met this young gentleman.…

    Oh no, not again. A crowd of amused snickers erupted from behind me. It seemed as though my teacher had forgotten to accessorize with her pitchfork and horns this morning. I looked up at her and crossly glared. Apparently, no number of parent-teacher conferences could deter her from her “we sometimes have to do things we do not want to” mentality. I looked down at the page and read very slowly, stumbling and whistling through every s, sh, st and everything of the like. I sounded like an angry teapot. This was my own personal hell, and I had an audience. Boy, were they having the time of their lives. You would have thought that I was the world’s best stand-up comedian.…

    His name was Bradley Tolman. He was born on March 21, 1998 in Madison Memorial Hospital, in the city of Rexburg, Idaho. As a child Brad was an extremely hilarious kid, he was always smiling and laughing. There was always one thing about him that he would always do, he tied his blanket around his neck like a cape, and put on a pair of sunglasses, ran around the house saying “I’m Batman”. He would save people from the bad guys. Then there was this time when he wanted his mom to cut his hair right before school; because he wanted to go to school with his hair short. It was about time the bus should have been coming to pick them up. He really wanted his hair cut so much that he ran into the house, grabbed his dad’s electric razor,…
