So I went to a wake tonight for a friend who passed away due to cancer. Usually I wouldn't write about a wake, but what I had seen today will be burned in my mind forever.
At the wake, the mother of the deceased was giving people a tour of the dead body. Going through pockets, and being so nonchalant about it. That was disturbing.
Later on as the wake was ending the brother of the deceased was also going through his pockets and pulled out 2 coins that he had put there earlier, and a set of extra buttons that were left in the jacket. Turning to his mother saying, they left the buttons and handing the buttons to her, which she responds, he's not going to need these buttons anymore. Anybody need some buttons?
I just sat in disbelief and amazement. The amount of disrespect is appalling. I need rest, I have work in the morning.
Rest in peace Michael. jakeny@att.net Permanent Link to Wake Tonight |
