Well said Geno. I like to joke I come from a long line of white trash and people think I’m ashamed. Maybe once upon a time I was, but my family shows up for each other in the most absurd ways and is guaranteed to make you laugh in any situation. About 10 years ago my cousin Jess was murdered by someone she connected with on Facebook to sell something to. Her husband had cancer and they were struggling to get by. I share parts of her story without ever sharing too many details and I have my reasons.
At her funeral no expense was spared there were even doves fired out of a damn canon. I didn’t know her husband well, said to him I thought Jess would love the funeral and he said hell yeah that bitch would have loved it. I was laughing hysterically in the cemetery.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Humor and tears can integrate so beautifully together, we need both to keep grieving and healing. It's good you have that approach to life.

Thanks for sharing this heartfelt story. We must all deal with tragedy a few (or many) times in our lives. How we do it makes or breaks us.
