spokeI keep thinking I should have more memories, to write here. Only maybe it's too soon? Surprisingly not-stressed about it. Mostly right now, I wanted to say the funeral went okay.
Except for the fact that Grandpa had joined this Baptist church in the last few months, and there was some prostelizing by the preacher as he was speaking. >.< I mean... I cannot help but be annoyed by things like 'Heaven' and 'restricted' being in the same sentance. Also, 'Heaven' should not be spoken as if it were a nail holding one's sentances together.
Afterwards, in the car - I can't even remember who said what that led into this, but Dad was telling me that being Baptist, the man couldn't help it. And then Val, the girlfriend... before this, I wasn't too sure about her? I mean I know they love each other and all, but me being able to get along reasonably well with a technical step-mom. She said something about how he made it sound like Heaven was a country club. >> In a mocking tone, she says 'Heaven is restricted! If you're Jewish, you can't get in. If you're black you can, but you have to go in the back way!' And I just - my eyes popped and I couldn't help but laugh. That is exactly what the idiot sounded like. ^^; And I told her so, you know. And that it was nice to know that I was not the only one who felt like he needed to be slapped.
Actually, I think it was after I said that that Dad pointed the Baptist thing out to me. Also he said that was fairly toned down compared to some preachers he'd heard? Which was a bit scary, when I was able to stop and think about the implication there. x.x
So even though things went downhill after I woke up, back home, the funeral itself went okay.
