Funerals are sad -- of course they are -- but a funeral for an older person is so much less sad and grievous than a funeral for a young person.
And, you get to reunite with beloved old friends.
Beloved.
Deeply.

So is this a funeral? I'm guessing so, because of the black, but wow, with all those bright smiles you would never know!

I know, Beth. But it was after the boozy luncheon, and the room was so bright and beautiful, and it was our friend's Dad, who was 88, and had been declining, so although it was sad, it was joyous, too.
