A funeral is totally the best time to be petty.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

And the funeral started with the Jeff Buckley iteration of "Hallelujah," so I was not well-inclined toward the family to begin with.

Good lord, what asshats, Steph. I'm sorry Tim's ex had to deal with them on top of losing her daughter.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I want to say that's un-fucking-believable but I have no problem believing it. Petty and cruel, and I'm so glad that R and her son had you and Tim and all her other people there for support.
The world needs to cut you a break.
I shot photographs and day drank.
You say that like it's a bad thing. Sounds like a Saturday well spent. I wish I were day drinking RIGHT NOW but it'd probably slow day my grading even further.

No, I really almost laughed, despite Tim's ex sobbing her heart out at the end of our allotted pew.
I'm sorry Tim's ex had to deal with them on top of losing her daughter.
The great good thing is that last week in Texas (R. ended up moving to Texas after Daughter's Horrible Father kidnapped her and moved her to Texas, because she wanted to be near her daughter), they had a big memorial service and it was FULL of R.'s friends and family, and tons of Daughter's friends, and not a lot of Daughter's Horrible Father's family. So that's a comfort to R. and her son.

I'm glad the service is over now. I hope R and son no longer have to deal with the asshats and can grieve in their own way now.
You know you feel crap when you go to hang dry some laundry and you have about 5 items hung before you realize that nothing is damp and you had forgotten to actually start the washer in the first place.

I'm migraine-y and SO over 2016 already. This is the 5th funeral/memorial we've been to this year. And the fact that R.'s daughter died from a drug overdose just hits me really hard, given my brother's recent relapse.
But I'm choosing to take migraine meds and read comic books and not think about any of that for the rest of the night.

brillig
included what basically amounts to an altar call. What is WITH that???
Sounds like the typical Mormon funeral. You've got a captive, emotionally vulnerable audience, so you can push the "You can be together in heaven, but only if you have the right membership card" spiel. I've never gotten a good answer for why everyone Christian won't be together in heaven, but as near as I can tell, with Mormons it's because your family may be good people, but if they're not baptized in the Mormon faith, they won't get into Extra Special Heaven, just Good Enough Heaven, and they're not allowed to mingle between the levels.
