My grandma died last Sunday... you know, the day when it was absolutely beautiful outside. It was the same day I wrote my last blog.
Now I know my family is different than others. We all live in different places of the state. But I can say I've never been to a funeral like my grandmother's.
My family (mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, husband, and aunt) have fun when we get together. And because we were expecting my grandmother's death for quite a while (she, herself, was ready to go years ago), we didn't really have much grief over the loss. We actually laughed more than cried at the visitation and funeral.
But one thing stuck out in my mind as being quite odd. As my aunt, dad, and mother were standing at the receiving line, my sister and I (looking quite alike, with our curly hair pinned up) were sitting in the front row close by. A lady finished the receiving line and walked over to us. This was our brief, bewildering conversation.
Lady: Is your hair naturally curly?
Us: Yes.
Lady: Oh, how nice!
Us: Thank you.
Lady: It's so sexy and sensual!
Us: uhh......
That's something I've never heard at a funeral. A bit weird. But nice... I guess?
