I visited my Uncle Anthony's funeral today.
Well, I'm not exactly very close to him; in fact I haven't seen him for like, 10 years? Yeah, he's the eldest brother over at my mum's side, but my I heard from my cousin (mum's sister) that there were some problems in the family, so they hardly contact each other. Between my mum, her two sisters and him. He died from a heart attack; but it was a peaceful death, 'cos he was under medication which suppressed the symptoms (e.g. heart pains) and when they found out and sent him to hospital, it was pretty late. His son said that he probably didn't even know he died of a heart-attack; but he was complaining of breathlessness though.
Still, I was pretty sad when I saw him being sent into the van, to the crematory. I took a glance at him before that at the funeral, and he looked pretty good; with the makeup and stuff. He felt and sounded (from what I'd heard from his sons) like a great guy, but I shan't probe into my mum's family affairs.
I was quite inspired by what Uncle Anthony's son, Fabien, who shouted "I love you!" when the coffin was being sent to the crematory, where we had a clear view in the viewing hall. "I am sad, not because that my father passed away, but because I had always wanted to tell him that I love him, but I didn't, and now there's no more chance for me to do so. " Even though I don't know my uncle too well, I still teared, because I was pretty touched by his sons. I hardly see men cry so badly.
If you love someone, do tell him or her so, before it's too late. I quoted this from my cousin Fabien too (It feels pretty weird to call him by his name, 'cos he's about 30 years old and all, much older than me) and I agree though, although I guess, I myself fail to do so.
My uncle's ashes are going to be scattered into the sea. I think that's a really nice way to handle the ashes; to be gone with the sea. Hmmm. I think I shall let it happen to me too.
May God bless my uncle up in Heaven.
