"...At Least They Look Good..." in meh...

This phrase is what is spoken sometimes after funerals or visitations. The last time I utter these words, I got a whole new asshole created for me by a bus driver. It was kind of funny but at the same time it made me think about people’s perspective of things.

Sometimes, some funeral homes get these bodies and the person looks nothing like the person you knew. To me, it’s about the parting view. I would like for my loved one to look peaceful, as if they were sleeping, not like they’ve been through the wringer. Sheez…

My dad’s mother didn’t really look like herself. She was much darker for some reason. My friend’s mother, who passed away the day after we buried my grandmother, her mom looked great. My other friend who’s husband passed away. He looked great.

My grandfather looked like himself. Even had his glasses on. That was the hardest funeral of my life, though my dad’s mom was hard for me too.

I miss him, my papa…

Anyway. Just sharing some thoughts.
Take it easy.

Kindest regards,
Sister
