Phew I'm sleepy. I had to get up early to sing a funeral. I can't believe how small it was. There were only like 10 people there! The woman was 94 so she lived a long life. It got me thinking a lot about my funeral. I'm the youngest in my family, and at this point I don't know if I will have my own children or not. As such I wonder if my funeral will be very small. It kind of depressed me a little for the old lady that not many people were there. What about friends not just family? Oh well, perhaps she was shy...or mean. OMG I can't believe I thought that. yikes.
This is probably my 4th or 5th funeral I've sang, and it still feels strange to me. I will admit watching the emotions of the people there is interesting.
This funeral reminded me of Eleanor Rigby.
"died in a church and was buried along with her name
nobody came..."
even the organist didn't know her name.

at least afterwards dad took me to pizza hut for lunch buffet. I ran into one of my oldest friends there too, who I was just talking to last night.
She has another baby on the way, so she was telling me about that. Her son is getting so big now. He's such a cutie. It's nice to see life,
wow I'm melancholy right now. :(
