This may be morbid, but…
I’m in Simi Valley for a funeral. I can’t even remember how many funerals I have been to…I think this is my 8th? Maybe 9th?
Anyway, I’ve come up with some plans for my own final bash:
1) No regret. They people coming can’t feel any regrets. I’m just saying…in the off chance that we had a fight, or for some reason one couldn’t make it to the hospital, no regrets. I will probably forgive everyone in those last moments, and whether or not people are by my side, if it’s my time, additional presence/handholding/etc. will not change that. And I’ll probably hear your good-bye’s.
2) No black. Pink please, duh.
3) I want “Joyful, Joyful” to be sung. You know, from Sister Act 2. With dance moves and all.
4) Unless my family needs monetary donations to pay for the service, which they shouldn’t because like all things in my life, my final bash should be done on the cheap (I’m talking cardboard box for a coffin, no flowers…I can’t take it with me) all condolence gifts (I don’t know what they’re called) should be in the form of donations…have not decided which non-profit/ngo yet.
That’s all I’ve come up with. Yes, I realize this is a bit ridiculous, but haven’t you thought about what you’d want at yours after attending one??
