I'm working on a post about the Great Decluttering and Organizing project, but I came across this little bit of silliness today, and I just had to share. I'm sorry I couldn't just lift the image, but you can follow the link. If you've ever had any friction or ill-will with siblings involving the care and concern of an elderly parent or other relative, this might set your imagination afire and provide you with hours of entertainment as you consider what you, too, might write.
And, yes, I have considered something like it over the years.
Oh, and check out the comments on the linked post, too. They're hilarious and moving.
I must read this because I suspect I will be there eventually with my SIL/brother and my parents. :)

I read the comments, which were great, and I especially liked the ideas for funeral behavior. "Ululation"! Even though I've not given my own funeral (should there be one) any thought at all, now I'm thinking I want ululation. Group ululation, followed by one long "ooooommmmmm." Then everyone will be handed a Berger cookie and instructed to go home, back to work, grocery shopping, whatever.
Doug (husband) has given his funeral some thought, although his ideas are totally focused on the music. Currently (it changes quite often) he wants us to play "I Wonder Why" by Dion and the Belmonts. The chance of me being at his funeral is very, very slim -- I'm thinking I have another 10 years or so, he has at least another 20 -- so I always make sure Greg (son) knows what song is on Doug's mind.
