Creative Writing: Eulogy For Father

(Stand up, mobile phone in hand)” Well thank you vicar it is a bit inconvenient at the moment I am just about to start the speeches."

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man. I have recently found out there are two reasons why J W asked me to do this job. 1) To make him look younger and slimmer in the photos. 2) Because he didn't want to burden any of his friends with the terrible prospect of having to give this speech.

Pickett dragged his gaze away from the sight and appraised their surroundings. "That is true. Men cannot stand isolation for long, and I've seen it cause some to froth at the mouth and go stark-raving mad." He turned back to her, the sombre expression turning into a laugh at her next comment. "Talk my ear off? I'm sure you can if you've learnt anything from your Aunt." He lifted a finger teasingly to his lips. "Keep that comment between you and I when we send the

“Let me have a look, Son, and I’ll open it up,” says Papa. “It looks like a love letter.”

“I told you to clean this shit up, boy. What would your Mom say, when she comes home and the house is a mess. And it’s your fault. Yes it is.” Dad said. He sat back down at the table, eyes glaring at Charles.

"Your father want me to give this you when you're older. Too bad he's not alive to see you grow up, but I'm sure he's proud of you son."

“Ok, I guess we won’t.” my mom started to tear up, and seconds later the tears came rolling down her face, like a child rolling down a hill.

Well hello beautiful human, my name’s Wilkin. I’m an affectionate, energetic, loyal, beautiful, goofball that is looking to find a loving family who will love and stick with through the good and bads. I’m a very people friendly fellow, and love to meet and interact with new people whenever I get the chance. In fact, when you come in to visit with me, I come right to the front of my kennel with a happy antsy body, just hoping and praying that you’ll get me out and spend some time with me! Though I do tend to get very excited, and may start jumping up on you, in order to give you kisses and get your attention (which can hurt because haven’t quite learnt my size or strength). I’m still kind of on the young side, and like I’ve mentioned before I’m very energetic, so I would LOVE to find a home that had a fenced in yard where I could adventure around, run, chase, and play with people, dogs, and toys such as ropes soft toys, squeaky toys and occasionally a ball.

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today for a thing called life, well actually it's just a milestone in our lives called Graduation. Class of 2016, we made it to this day we never thought would ever get here, congratulations. We all know I hate talking in front of large crowds but then again I'm nowhere near being too shy for this, so sorry if I mess up but I'll try my best. In a normal ol’ graduation speeches they talk about how our future's going to be “BIG and bright” and to” follow dreams”. Well that is all great advice but I want to be a little different sense y'all have already heard these things before. So here I go, First I would like to thank all our parents for having to deal with us while we went through the “Teenage” and the drama that comes along with high school.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry to hear that you and the wife are going through tough times together but it is expected to go through tough times for the first three years after getting married. This is where both you will find out what each other is made of and who is the one really trying to make things work in the marriage. You or her! If after three years you and the wife still going through the same old issues then the marriage meant not to be for neither one. Keep this in mind! Just continue working it and always do your best in the marriage. That is the best advice I can tell you.

At first, my mom and my dad both had lived in the DR for a while before coming to the U.S with their family. After them moving to New York and not knowing each other my mom and dad attended the same school. Then they were going to high school where they started being friends and after a year or so goes by they get together. After graduating high school they both went to college. But they had me, got married and my dad left college to work hard to support for us. Then my dad left college to look out after me, but after three years later they had my sister. My sister and I got close, but my dad taught us how to be clean. So every day after school, I’ll do my homework, clean and I would never like my room dirty. So I thank him for that because

My family is about money; you should have a job that's all about money. Don't worry about spending time with your wife and kids because you must provide for your family. It's all about money. I remember when I was growing up my mom and dad will be fighting about money. My dad spends about 13,000 a year on lottery tickets, that's why we have money problems. I have seen money splint up families and friends. I am 28 years old and the only thing that I know about my father is he was born in Alabama. He never spent any time with me or any of his other kids or said anything positive. He tells me to get out his face and leave him alone, go and play some were, and talk to me like am a slave. And the only time he talks to me is when it came to money, example: Why you won't to be in the band? That cost money. My dad and me never spent time with each other unless it is was

I want to tell him that I love him and I care. But I can’t. He doesn’t want me to. It would make everything worse. I have this sick belief that love is a fallacy, because most of the time for me, it is. And I just can’t stop feeling this disgusting feeling. It’s not really a yearning but it’s like- I want him to know that he isn’t useless and hopeless and trash but I can’t tell him that because he won’t care and he’ll think I’m just doing it because I want to bang him or something. Even in just a platonic way, I want him to be happy and I don’t want him to be hurt- but I can’t stop him from hurting himself and it’s useless and hopeless and without a solution because we are both really messed up and that’s just the way that he releases negative

Ladies and gentleman, before I get into my speech, I would like to first thank the staff, family and friends for helping us celebrate this big step in our lives. I am honored to welcome you to the Pleasantdale class of 2018 commencement ceremony. Throughout the years that I have spent with this class, there have been both good memories and memories we may wish to forget, but as we all know, that is part of growing up. As author Richard Carlson once said, “Whether we want to admit it or not, and certainly whether we like it or not, life is full of difficulties. It’s an inevitable part of the package. The question becomes: Do our problems and difficulties ruin us, turn us sour and apathetic, or destroy our spirits? Or are they a source of growth, wisdom, perspective, and patience? The answer is: It completely depends on how you look at them.”

Being a wife of a pastor, in the ministry and a prayer warrior, I met many people who are going through things in their everyday life. One young lady concerning a matter she is dealing in her home life with the father of her two children. She was not sure of what to do about the father being emotional abusive to her and not wanting to work to help take care of the family household. Our meeting began this way.
