The wake.
________________________________________________________________
Funerals are weird. They take you through a whirl of emotions.
Seeing a lifeless body lying pale on a bed is heart wrenching. It makes you think, it makes you cry. Someone who's been there for your whole life suddenly disappears into thin air. Back to where she came from.
Long days and nights of doing nothing much stones you.
Happy cousins, innocent children, running in their little paradise. Brings a smile to your face.
Baby cousins smiley and frowning, seeking the attention that they truely deserve. Brings a dream into the future.
Catching up with aunts and uncles and cousins i haven't found the time nor the effort to talk to. Suddenly it's like the old days. When we were all young and cheery, when we run around and sweat, when we fall and we cry, when we laugh till tears sting our eyes. We always used to give our all. We fight for toys, we fight each other and then we eventually learn to share. Then we're suddenly all grown up. Too embarrassed to be too honest. Politely distant.
You came into this earth, bringing this whole family together. And now you leave, bringing us all together again. More than what we started with.
Tears, smiles, laughter, memories. You'll always be our grandma.

There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
