Remembering those who are no longer with us can be painful and sad. Sometimes, I remember my late father and my late partner when I hear songs that they liked or when I pass by places that we used to go together.
I usually say a little pray for them on their birthdays or on the anniversary of their passing. During festive seasons, I visit my late father's grave. There is nothing better than offering prayers for those who have long departed.
Music is often a huge trigger for the memory so I'm not surprised to see you mentioned it. I think it's nice to remember people in good ways when they pass away and music can help us recall good times, fun moments and the person themselves in the best way.
That's true. My dad really loved music. Every morning when he woke up, we would hear the radio playing and music in the living room. Whenever we heard the music, we knew that he was awake.
But now, no one plays the radio loudly in the living room anymore. Each of us listens to music through our own headphones instead. Thats how a passing may affect us.
Hmm, there seems to be an opportunity to rekindle the tradition of having music playing for all to hear as your father did.
