Five years ago yesterday.....

we made arrangements for my mom's burial and funeral service.The funeral director was a family friend of ours and was really quite helpful and terrible at the same time.We had to write the obituary which was one of the most expensive things I have ever paid for......I still think about how much people pay when I see an especially long obit in the paper.We had to pick out the casket too.When we went into the office to finish things up I started looking at all the little urns....they had big ones there too but the little ones caught my eye....of course my logical thinking was that the little urns were,well for little people...ya know babies,midgets,whatever...I got kind of grossed out at the fact that those little urns are used to take a small remnant of someone's ashes.The funeral director looked at me and grinned knowing he was going to get a reaction from me saying,"that urn would hold enough ashes to equal a couple of fingers." Yikes!I quickly threw him the urn I was holding in my hand.
