It’s not the “traditional thing” to do when those come to pay respect for a loved one that dies but some of us must walk a different “thank you” path. I understand people should go to see you during this difficult time because it’s “the right thing to do” and not expect anything in return for such an act. It’s also difficult for a grieving party it might to thank anyone at such a point in their life. Yet I must walk on a different path. Maybe it’s the “Bud” part of me that wants to acknowledge all the kind words and gestures or maybe it’s just I feel this path is too rigid for me. So “Thank you for all your kind words, gestures and love for me as well as my family” during this difficult time we truly appreciate it even if I’m the only rebel to say so.
