It brought back to me childhood memories of my grandmother takimg me with her to wakes and funerals and memorial services when I was too young to be left alone in the house during school holidays when I visited her in her village. We had no fear and regarded it as quite normal and were looking forward to all the offerings. She even took me with her when she Marizanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011565341528115635.post-69060627316653016142009-12-07T12:09:05.420+02:002009-12-07T12:09:05.420+02:00Yes, the wish of many to die quietly.
