How to not say the wrong thing.

[infinite monkey]

I was amazed and touched by the people who loved my mom. Seems that being the good person she was, she attracted a lot of other good people.

I didn't dwell on who did or who did not come to the services. Everyone is different. Everyone deals with these things in their own way. People you don't expect to step up to the plate do, and some you expect would step up just can't. For whatever reason.

But on the whole, the community of friends and family showed my mom the respect she deserved. I am forever grateful.

I'm not nearly enough like my mom. She was so good at reaching out to people, at doing the right thing. I'm the quintessential 'say the wrong thing' girl.

I miss my mom.
