Thanks For Being Here - Shiva Speech for Poppy


Listen Later

Today's Thanks for Being Here comes from an anonymous, young college graduate who shared words at her grandfather's shiva. In the midst of the world unfolding at a mad pace around us, she reminds us how one person's presence can transform a family. Her "Poppy" saw her critical eye as rooted in love and justice, encouraged her activism, and promised that nothing she could ever share with him would shock "a Navy man". What struck us most was her realization that the traits she thought made her the "black sheep" were actually the values her grandfather had cultivated in everyone—peace, love, community—manifesting differently across generations. This is exactly what Thanks for Being Here is meant to highlight: how profoundly we affect one another.
