Presents yet to be opened, but I do not believe I’m on the receiving end. I did buy daughter and wife nice Tissots (quartz and still wrapped).
Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to all! Try to act kindly to all throughout the new year as we act to one another today.
Tis too long a tale to write…. But, at my now 70 years of age, I will tell part of it. Growing up, we lived next to our church. I was an altar boy, and because we were close, from about age 7, I served most funerals. As time went by, I was called on to be a pall bearer at family and friend burials. I became the designated family witness to coffin closings, and after services, the witness to multiple interments. In the past two decades, I have assisted a number of times in planning arrangements, mainly because of my distrust of the funeral industry and preying on those grieving.
Dear wife says I’m morbid. I say I can’t help it.
My dad died in 2004, and after burial, my mother asked me if I removed his watch. I replied no, as no one instructed me to do so. She was pissed, saying “it was a good one”. Well, ma’s idea of good was whatever the home shopping network said it was.
Doubt it was an automatic, as he had a two day funeral and it was still ticking. Doubt it is now.
