What will you do when you attend the wake of friend's granny? Considering the fact that most probably you don't know her, I won't be surprised to be answered with shrugs. The only wakes I've attended was my granny's and my maternal uncle's. Besides I'm practically a novice.
Just attended this family friend's granny's wake & I return feeling awkard. Whenever I see small families, I wonder if they can cope. What with being so compact and reliable on every person, its quite tiring to guard a wake through the 5days.
Which got me thinking about my granny's wake. I was surprised to find that we actually covered the whole of the void deck. That the food we consumed was alot. That our family currently totalled at 63. On my dad's side. Since then there's been a few additions. But while its nice to have a big extended family, the politics they play is always tiring. But I wont forget the fun we have.
I'm pretty incoherent now. It's been a confusing day.
