I've felt pretty sick for you the last few days. Thinking about you every day, Seb.

Yeah, having to make those phone calls, not an envious task. Oh, painted coffin, unique indeed. I like that idea. We're trying add as much of the fun that was mom to her funeral as would be considered respectful. Obviously don't want clowns and whoopee cushions or anything, but given how colourful in life she was, it would seem odd to have everyone dressed in black and just have plain flowers etc. So we're seeing what we can within reason add to this thing. to me at least, that is what a funeral should be about. Yeah it's a sad event for those who are left behind, but it's also meant to be a goodbye to someone you loved, someone who had personality, taking that aspect of them away from the event because you're sad seems disrespectful to who that person was, in my opinion. I've had talks with my mom and dad regarding their wishes and such for when the inevitable happens, I've talked to Mark about it as well and talked to his mom about her wishes. We knew his dad's wishes ahead of time, thankfully. I think it's an important discussion to have with loved ones regardless of your own age or health.

I hope it will be respectful but in the spirit she would have liked.

Ouch. That's pretty much the worst thing I can imagine.

I woke up kind of emotional, for whatever reason, and that just sent me over the edge. I'm over here crying with you, bro.
