Pre-Funeral Thoughts
In the morning I'll be going to Selena's funeral. I'm still not sure how I feel about this. A little Anya-ish, really - get back in your body and stop being dead. I think tomorrow will help a lot of people. It's important to remember what was good for her, to be there with others at this time. It's important to have tissues.
I've done precisely two funerals before, years ago. I remember the second - my Grandmother - the priest saying that music had been requested since the family couldn't sing. All I remember from the first - other Grandma - is my brother singing. And an unusual break from the usual program of my other brother tormenting one of my eldest cousins. For the most part.
I will miss her every time Bush says something he really shouldn't, every time Faith makes her entrance in her first Buffy episode, and every time I see Star Trek's 'Who Mourns For Adonis?' We talked costumes a lot. We could both be emphatic about what was Good and what was Bad in our chosen areas.
I feel words can't really draw the right pictures at the moment.
