Weedanort 8,786 Posted January 17, 2015 Today, my aunt Candidinha passed away, with a sudden, and serious infection Tommorrow's her funeral, and even though she was a christian at heart, and I'm an atheist, I'm still going to her funeral, to pay my respect. Some people I know IRL already told me it's best not to go, since most people will look at me differently for being an atheist, but heck that's not gonna stop me from paying my respect towards her.

Forever 3,550 Posted January 17, 2015 Don't care if you're religious, or not- but I'm praying for ya, my man. As well as for your dear family. Hope you receive as much positivity, and comfort as humanely possible. *Blows an endearing kiss at the screen* 1 Weedanort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psychic_Ketchup 367 Posted January 17, 2015 A thing like religion shouldn't stand in the way of something like this. If others disapprove of your coming, they're at fault. I wish you much strength. 3 Sendou Aichi, waytothexdawnx and Weedanort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Eater Evans 4,045 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) As Tamaki said, Do you think you could tell me what true strength is? I may be out of line, but hiding your true self and putting on airs doesn't seem any different than running away to me. I would think that embracing the things you truly like and being able to enjoy them is worth more than anything. To just be yourself... I believe that's what true strength really is. Ignore what others think and go, if that's what you feel! Edited January 17, 2015 by Soul Eater Evans 1 Weedanort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skai 3,961 Posted January 17, 2015 Dude, that's heavy stuff. Sorry I didn't see this earlier. We're here for you man. It's good you're going to her funeral. It shouldn't matter what your religious preference is. Family is family. 1 Weedanort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WakingDawn96 1,166 Posted January 17, 2015 So sorry for you man, I know you don't believe in God, but I still like to keep you in my thoughts and hope your Aunt is in a better place. Losing a family member is hard and people should look at you like you lose someone you are family with because you have. I hope you can deal with this man, it's never easy to lose someone in the family. (And you kinda just made me sad on my birthday, so you know I care for the people on this site) 1 Weedanort reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytothexdawnx 1,159 Posted January 18, 2015 Sorry for your loss But I think you're making the right decision by going to her funeral. You don't want to regret later on in life not going.

littleTSUBAME 483 Posted January 19, 2015 This is kinda late, but I'm sorry. : ( I think it's just horrible that people said you shouldn't go to the funeral... It' really not about being religious but saying goodbye to an important person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
