Tell Them Before it is Too Lateby Rick Schneider
I received an invitation to my Aunt Ruths 90th birthday party.
No presents, just your presence, please. It read. The only thing
that my Aunt Ruth wanted for her birthday was for people to show up
and enjoy themselves. She was always a great conversationalist and
all she wanted for her birthday was to talk to family and friends.
She got her wish.
My Aunt, Ruth Loftus, was a very proper woman who knew how
things should be. She never corrected any of her nieces or nephews
directly but would say, I dont know about that. If we mentioned
that we wanted to do something that she didnt approve of. Of all of
my aunts, Aunt Ruth stood
outabovetherest.AndasIwassoontofindout,allofmycousins felt the same
way.
I have to admit that Ive been to a lot of birthday parties. This
one was one of the best and by far the most memorable. It was held
in the Community Center in the Village of Greenhills. Both the
location and the weather were perfect. In attendance were not only
a nice percentage of her nieces and nephews, but also the people
with whom she worked with many years ago. I was surprised to see so
many people she knew in her working life attending since by this
time Aunt Ruth had been retired for over 25 years. It was great for
me to visit with so many of my cousins at one time on a happy
occasion. So many times I only get to see them during someones
Calling Hours. This was a nice, unhurried, time to visit with
everyone.
After the fellowship and dinner, it was about time to leave. My
Aunt Ruths only child, Patty, stood up and thanked everyone for
coming to wish her mom a happy birthday. Then she mentioned that
since there was such a wide variety of people present who knew her
mom from different areas of her life that, Why dont we start at my
right and just mention a favorite short story about Mom, a pleasant
memory, or just simply how you knew her.
That simple little request turned into two hours of joy as
people who worked with Aunt Ruth, neighbors from the old
neighborhood and all of us cousins told short stories of my aunt.
One of my cousins mentioned how they werent allowed in the Living
Room because it was for Company. Aunt Ruth didnt want that room
tore up. We all roared with laughter, because each cousin could
relate to that. Another cousin added how, when they would visit
Aunt Ruth, their dad would pull over about a block away and remind
them
tostayoutoftheLivingRoom.PastofficematestoldhowAuntRuth,asanaccountingfirmsofficemanager,wasverystrict
and didnt let even the slightest error slide by. But she corrected
an employee in such a way that it was almost like a compliment. The
stories kept coming as at least sixty people told their own stories
of Aunt Ruth.
We were so involved in what was going on I dont think anyone
realized that the Community Center staff had cleaned off the
tables, put everything away and many had left for the evening. We
had overextended our welcome by quite a bit. As we all left the
conversation continued in the parking lot. That event had stirred
everyones memories of growing up. It was a unifying event not only
with my family but everyone who knew Ruth Loftus. And I think it
overwhelmed her daughter Patty. She never expected that everyone
would have something to
say and that it would have such a positive effect on everyone
present. One of the nice things about telling someone how much they
mean to you, especially during a birthday party, is that it is a
happy occasion, Someone always remembers a funny story about the
person. I noticed that as everyone shared stories about my aunt; no
one mentioned anything about her possessions or beautiful house.
Well, except for maybe her Living Room that was saved for Company.
For the most part, the stories were about her and her positive
affect on people. She loved it and so did her daughter. On the way
home I got to thinking why do we wait until the Calling Hours to
reminisce about someones life. Why dont we do it while they can
hear it and enjoy it like we did for Aunt Ruth? Maybe at the next
birthday party you attend for someone in your family, or a
life-long friend, why not ask everyone to share a short story, a
brief memory, or simply say how they met the person? It will be a
joy to all present, especially the guest of honor and their
family.
