I want to laugh!!!

Setting with my Daddy at my Aunt's funeral service the other day the preacher rose with a few of his friends gathered their musical instruments and began to sing. Daddy and I were both patting our foot keeping time with the music. The preacher began talking about my aunt. Naming her family members and saying a few nice things about her. Then he began to preach to us....telling us we need to live our lives the best that we can so that we'll see her once again in heaven. He told us stories of his bad health and a few other things that had nothing to do with my aunts life on this earth. I wanted to hear funny stories...how did she spend her day..what were her hobbies. I know she liked to quilt, tell us about that. Tell us about her childhood and the funny things that she did when she was a child living in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. She grew up with she seven brothers they must have tormented her. I know there are funny stories...I have heard them. But I want to hear them again. Tell me about raising her children and the fun times they had. I want to laugh.....When someone dies it should be a "celebration of life."
Sermons on hell and how you live your life should not be allowed on the day of a funeral. Lets reflect on the good things that she did while she was on this earth.
So if you get the chance to attend my funeral you better be wearing your "Depends" cause you are going to need them.
