funeral

Today I will be attending my brother-in-law’s funeral. We drove about 400 miles yesterday to get to this small Oregon town where the funeral will be held so we had lots of time for remembering.

It probably will not be a sad day for my brother-in-law has been a quadriplegic for more than 35 years. My sister has had the total care of him in that time and deserves some kind of special award in Heaven for her patience and caring spirit.

Being a Floral Transport Navigation Specialist is not the dream job that it is heralded to be. Whenever I tell people that my job is to deliver flowers, the most common response is, "How fun that must be! People must love to see you coming!" This is partly true - people do love it when I show up with the brightly wrapped vased package. But there are several pet peeves that a flower delivery man must perservere through. Following is a list of things that your typical floral transport navigation specialist hates.

My mother passed away in 2001 in a town quite a distance from where I live. I laid awake the night before her funeral wondering if I had taken care of all the little details involved in her memorial service. What if I had forgotten something really important? A funeral seemed so final, and I knew there was no doing it over if I messed it up.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t me who messed up. I told my daughter and her husband where the graveside service was to be held, but, instead of turning right at the second bridge to reach the cemetery, they turned at the first one and ended up making an unwanted tour of the local golf course.

Funerals are grave situations, of corpse. Too many people are packed into too small a room and forced to pretend they really care -- not just about the dead guy, but also about how the other people feel. It is enough to kill you. So why bother? Just send some funeral flowers and call it a day! The guy you're sending them to sure did.

What could be worse than losing a loved one in war? You would think nothing right? You are already grieving for the loss however for some military families they still have to deal with a few other things that not your every day person must deal with.

Imagine being at the funeral to walk out and be greeted by the worst group of people...PROTESTERS. And they are happy your spouse or loved one is dead. They are cheering and saying he/she deserved to die. Even that God punished them because of the rest of the country. GET REAL!!!!

A few weeks ago my friends father committed suicide. He went missing one day and a few weeks later they found him. Beneath his body were the pain pills that allowed him to slip away one last time. I never met this man, he lived very far away and I had only heard of him mentioned a few times.
To my surprise a few days ago, my friend posted the details of the funeral on his myspace blog. It was the most amazing
