One very vivid childhood memory of mine includes my mother and the movie E.T. I remember making fun of my mom for how she would ALWAYS cry every.single.time we watched our recorded-from-tv-VHS-tape (you know what I’m talking about!).

As it turns out, death is certainly a process. Practically and philosophically speaking. In true blogger form- here are the things I’ve learned (all serious, some intended to be funny, so it’s ok to laugh): Funerals are expensive. Probably unnecessarily so.

How deeply and quickly I would learn the pain of being completely shocked and unprepared for something, I think I might have tried to avoid learning the lesson.
