Daisy, I'm so sorry.
I was doing fairly well until as we passed by the casket, my cousin and I who'd spent so many summers, holidays, weekends- told me, "Ask him to come back. He'd do it for you."
Oh my heart.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

So your dad just likes working with sharp things?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
DJ, this might come out wrong at first, but please read it all the way through.
I am so jealous of your grandfather's funeral. Everything you have been telling us about the service and the bonding with family and the memories. We didn't have a funeral when my Poppa died, and even though that was his wish and we wanted to honor it, I really wish we'd had something.
I envy you for being able to have that and I love that you are sharing it with us.

I thought he was gay?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So it appears. I couldn't see him as a mattress salesman.

Thanks for the hugs, MFN. I really wasn't trying to get sympathy, I swear it!

I know where you're coming from, Aims. I miss my grandmother something fierce. I was too young to remember details about the funeral. Twenty-six years later, people are still telling me stories about her.
It's more empathy than sympathy. Missing them sucks.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
DJ, those are beautiful stories.
The sewing talk is making me laugh. My mother sews beautifully. I did not inherit even the slightest bit of sewing skill. My last sewing project caused me to curse often and be glad it would all be hidden in the mostly dark of my massage room.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
{{{Daisy}}} I'm sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man.
Aimee, your dress is lovely. Nice work!
I also thought Bradley Cooper was gay... Makes me wonder if Jennifer Esposito is also of the gay. Hmmm

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Not in the wrong at all. I am very blessed to have the Morgans as family, even the ones who piss me off. I'm very lucky to have had Mimi and Wayne as my grandparents and the people who gave me such a magical childhood (just now I was thinking of those trips down to the lake as getting to go off to Hogwarts).
I'm sorry you didn't get to say goodbye in a way that gave you comfort and peace. (((Aimee)))
