--- Quote from: Shakestheground on October 04, 2007, 10:20:30 am ---I know what you mean Scott, when we buried my sister, my mother wanted me to get up and read somethign she wrote from the pulpit. We filed in and I sat there looking at her picture on the alter and was terrified, how the hell was I going to do this? Well, I just did. Time came and I got up there and relaxed and it was the most natural thing in the world.

People just assume that singing is too emotional an expression for someone to do for a loved one's funeral. I do have to admit, that at my brothers funeral, I questioned if I could or not.

Those are the hardest ones I think. And I think since Brokeback I am so much more emotional. I cry at the drop of a hat. Recently I was trying to tell someone about going to that Spiritualist Church and they asked if I were to go back and ask a direct question whoat would it be. I had to write it down because I couldn;t get it out.

Then I won't ask.

--- Quote from: Shakestheground on October 04, 2007, 10:18:10 am ---Well Jeff you had to do what you had to do at the time, I donlt thinks she would have wanted you all falling apart at her funeral, and the words were read. You still ave the song, you can sing it everyday and be connected to her.
And I am sure your father shared in the decision.

Thanks.
The decision was mine. Dad was a total wreck. I was the one who piped up and told the pastor just to read it. The gutless feeling comes in was because I just could not deal with my father's falling apart.
Shakesthecoffecan:
You looked after your father and his best interests, that is not gutless at all. That is courageous.
