Being grateful for life

If someone in your family has passed you know how hard of a time it is. I am appaled by the number of people who have lied about such a thing. I know of at least two people who have lied about the passing of one of their parents. Not only is this a lie but what does this do to the faimly member that is still alive. If I told my friends my father passed why wouldn't they believe me...because people lie about this!!! Seriously, life is an amazing thing that we should never take for granted. Why should we take such a topic and lie about it. I have been severly offended by people who lie about death. Death is one of the saddest things in the world that effects so many. And I hate the people who say there parents are dead to them and use that as an escuse. If it isnt true dont say it...lying is unethical no matter the subject but dont take advantage of such a beautiful thing such as life.
