i was faced with a daunting task today. you see, my grandfather died on monday, and i have no clothing that is appropriate for the funeral of a grandfather. none of my grandparents have ever died before. so this is a new experience all the way around. i think the last time that i went to funeral was way back in high school. the last time i SHOULD have gone to a funeral was last friday. *sigh*
anyway. i have no clothes that are appropriate for funerals. all of my dress-up clothes tend to be in bright bright colors. or summer clothes. it's not summer, and it's certainly not the occasion for bright clothes. so i headed for the mall, and was determined to find something appropriately nice to wear. for those of you who know me well, you know that this is not a pleasant experience for me. i tend to be drawn to the ridiculous, which is probably why i enjoy goodwill and rummage sales as much as i do. and if you truly know me, you would know that i would rather do just about anything than clothes shop. luckily...thanks to my insistence for shopping in the clearance racks, i found a respectable little outfit to wear.
it's interesting actually. i mean the fact that grandpa died on monday. i mean we learned he had lung cancer they day that we started studying lung cancer in class. and he died on the day we learned to how care for dying patients and their families.
but now i'm tired of people that i love dying.
emmie, grandpa, i love you both. i miss you both. if you should meet up in heave, i know you'll enjoy each other.
