Wow. That's kind of incredible. I mean in the good way, not the I-don't-believe-it way. I feel like the best thing end-of-life rituals can do is make you focus on the life lived, not on the trappings.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Nilly! Hi! Did you see the Matilda (and Emmett) pictures in Beep me?

I know MM wants "God's Comic" by Elvis Costello played at his funeral. I do too, but recently there have been other songs I wanted more.
Unfortunately, I just can't remember what songs they are at the moment, as I've had only about three hours of fitfull sleep.

Jesse, exactly.
Lee! Oh, yes, of course! Thank you! How wonderful of you to ask, too!
They were absolutely adorable, both of them. The expression on Emmett's face, and that little bundle, and - oh, thank you so much for sharing those.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I don't want a funeral. I want to be cremated and then I want an Irish Wake. Music and drinking and stories.

You can have a funeral (or at least a viewing) and still be creamated, Aims.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm with Aimée.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was a 737, actually. (Nit-picky, but the 737 is much smaller.)
