Screw this. I hate funerals - even pretend ones. The last funeral I went to was mt father's over twenty years ago - and I will never go to another one. Not even my own. I've told my kids to NOT put themselves through that when my time comes. Just cremate me and divide me up into five jars so they can each have a piece of me. That's it. Ashes to ashes and all that crap. Not even watching this episode (although it was nice to see Kristina finally showed up - lol).
I hate funerals, as well. Went to my grandma's funeral in 1996 and to a friend's one in 2007 and then never again. I do feel bad because I didn't attend either of my grandfathers' funerals, just in case 'they look down', you know. But they just make me miserable.
I remember having to try to plan my father's funeral with my brothers. We're sitting in this room and the funeral home guy is showing us pictures of caskets and talking about options - like we were buying a freakin' car. I couldn't do it. I left and went out and waited in my brother's car. I told them later it was a good thing I wasn't an only child because it would never have gotten done.
I'm not putting my kids through that. In fact, I'm seriously thinking about making the arrangements ahead of time so all they have to do is make a phone call or whatever.
I don't do funerals. Period. My kids know to cremate me... no burial, taking up space. No expensive ceremonies or caskets. Mike is gone... grieve for as long as you want, but a long funeral won't stop the grieving. It won't make you feel better. Only time will do that.
I loved this episode. Really real. Cried me an ugly cry. How Mike says to Sonny ''don't romantisize me,you had every right to be angry,i left you'' hit home so hard. I adored the way he owned up to it.
Thank you so much for posting these BOB! Greatly appreciated. :)
