Bring the box of tissues! For real.
Definitely. (For many church funerals I've attended, they also put boxes of kleenex in the pews. But just in case, bring them!)
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Box of tissues
Cotton bandana? Absorbent yet durable.

Echoing everyone saying bring tissues (or whatever) and don’t avoid sobbing!

David, I'm holding you and Matilda and Emmett in my heart today. I love you.
Shir and Nilly, you are still — always — in my thoughts.
Thanks for saying that perfectly, Steph.
David, may you do, be, and get exactly what you need to get through this today. We're surrounding all of you in love and support... blinvisibly and otherwise.

Our wings are not tired.
I go for the cloth hankies myself. Both my parents always carried handkerchiefs so I apparently inherited the habit.
Thank you for the link so that we can be with you virtually.

Funny...in my head, I've thought of Hec as the handkerchief type.(maybe with a monogram) I love them for sad times and allergies; they don't get wet ever.(Maybe not the greatest if you're sick--I mean, besides sick at heart, which you would be forgiven for...I meant the other kind. Not totally sure how well they clean up, she said tangentially. Atropa, healing to your dad. Shir and Nilly, healing to your country, and indeed the region. Thank you for these years of giving me images of it that are not bound up with conflict.

I'm here too. Thank you for the love stream. (I'm not changing the autocorrect).
This is a very weird watch and post. And a beautiful funeral. I'm holding all of you in my heart.

"What new ways of seeing would she have brought to us?" the Pastor asks. She brought us so many new perspectives and challenges in love and awareness. "She loved you."
Oh god. We love her so much.
