Last Wishes continued
I don't suppose I can prevent Mom from throwing a memorial service. So be it. I've decided that memorial services are a lot like graduation ceremonies. The stage walk is not for the benefit of the graduate, but for the people in the audience who supported them - either financially or emotionally.
Likewise with memorial services. They're not for the benefit of the lump of preserved meat in the box. It's for the benefit of those who knew the meat when it housed a soul.
Hmmm, perhaps I can turn a memorial service in to an alter call. What work I can't seem to do in life, I might be able to do in death.
