This was the main theme during the service held for Beata‘s funeral yesterday. A memorial service, but at the same time a worship service. It was a beautiful and moving experience.

Funny how these things come together. During the entire service, the contradiction of ‘dying is gaining’ returned time after time.
And as my father said: it was a beautiful service, but it should not have happened…
