The Morning Of The Funeral

[poliphilo]

We went to view the body yesterday. Not a good idea. It didn't look bad, just wrong. 

Joe writes to say he can't get anyone to cover for him today. I'm sorry. I was really looking forward to seeing him.

"It didn't look bad, just wrong." You put that perfectly. It always looks wrong, even when they "look good". If I were to be viewed (I wont) I would want my hair left straight, no color lipstick, my eyeglasses on my face, and I would like to be wearing my signature jeans and turtle neck - and of course my simple pierced earrings. In other words, to look as real as possible under the circumstances. I am keeping you all in my thoughts during this process. I hope it all goes well.

Thanks.

If I'd been asked I'd have advised against the viewing.
