As morbid as it sounds, I've always wondered what my funeral would be like. There seem to be a great deal of people in my life who care deeply for me, but when push comes to shove just who would bother themselves with paying their final respects? How many people would be going just for the sake of going, as if funeral crashing was like some kind of party game?
I know it is a play to my own ego, but I would like a really big turn out, I would love it if the church was so full that people would have to stand, that they would have to line up around the building, but not just people who are there, people who truly care. People who will actually miss me. People whose lives I have touched in one way or another. I wish that I could somehow peek into the far future, to see my funeral as it happens, to bid the people a final goodbye, those I knew in the past, those I hold close now, and those I have yet to have an influence on yet. But, with any luck my funeral won't be for a long time off yet.
