Similar reaction with me and some of my family members at a funeral. More specifically the graveside service.Andrew wrote:I'm glad no one was watching me and my bride a few days after my son's funeral. They'd have seen us sitting on the couch laughing and joking. What!? What kind of parents are we?! We were watching Briscoe County Jr, my son's favorite TV program, that we had watched and enjoyed with him during his fight with cancer. Remembering earlier laughs, earlier jokes, things we would never be able to do again. The thought that someone would state that we were actors or that we hadn't lost our son because we were obviously not mourning him is beyond my ability to comprehend. Shame on those who use such a tradgedy to promote a political position or for personal aggrandizement.
My father and I along with my uncle and cousin and 2 other relatives were pallbearers for the funeral of my great uncle. We removed the casket from the hearse and were carrying it to the grave, when my uncle saw this huge oak tree literally 5 feet away from the gravesite. He just bluntly stated "is it too late to go back to the shop and get some tools to keep him busy?"
We all started laughing...I'm not talking about a little chuckle we were laughing so hard we started crying. His widow pulled all of us off to the side at the house (actually into the woodshop) about an hour after the service and
"read us the riot act"... And we all pointed at my uncle and said "he did it" when he told her she just about died laughing...Just goes to show how different people deal with death ...after the funeral our family has a party...not wallowing in the tears of sorrow that a person is gone...but celebrating the joy they brought into our lives. Granted he died of a heart attack and not because a psycho with a fun shot up a school, or a shopping mall but we loved him and he was no longer around.
Anything I read or see on info wars and many of the other conspiracy shows I take with a grain of salt because they throw information that is out there and take it to the far end of the spectrum. Was the media wrong when they started plastering their initial reports out there... Yes have the reports evolved several times as more information has been found... Yes
Do I think the government brainwashed Adam Lanza and had him go on a killing spree... No but there are a few things that I've read and seen that make me think that someone else knew this was going to happen before it happened or assisted him.
