Death in the family is never a good thing. Today I am attending my very first funeral...and to some that may be astonishing as I am 23 years old. I guess it's time for me to be up close and personal with a very real event in the life cycle. To tell you the truth, my first wedding I was in was 2 years ago! Seems like I am learning quickly. The person who passed away is my brother in law. My sister is pretty sad and upset about everything, even though they were seperated for a while. But still, holy matrimony is no small ideal. Add to the fact that he died before she could come visit him, you can now see where alot of regret will stem from. The thing I a bit nervous about is how I will react and feel. I mean, here is a guy that I've seen many times. Talked to. Played Playstation with. And now he is gone...very weird. The first person in my life who I knew personally that has died. Other than my grandmother but I was 4 years old. Even though I am a documentary media type person, I love taking pictures and then writing about how I feel and what I see...for some reason, today just doesn't seem right to be capturing the moment on film. I will keep it on the reel of my mind...to keep it real in my mind.
R.IP. Jermel Barnett. He will be survived by his wife and two daughters.
