Just curious: has anyone helped carry their parents to their grave? Funeral stuff?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 55816120 New Zealand 01/12/2015 12:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Just curious: has anyone helped carry their parents to their grave? Funeral stuff? I'm just wondering. My Ma was kinda heavy and my Pa was a bit more so, being a bigger dude. I remember at the time when I wasn't being swamped by grief, that I was worried about dropping the old boy. We made it to the hearse, and my older brother snapped out a naval salute as they laid the NZ flag on his coffin. That was 4 years ago, and I'm still not over it. Sorry to unload, but for some reason this memory just rose up and hit me between the eyeballs. My apologies.

Funeral stuff? Understood man. When the Air Force Officer (which was female) turned toward me with my Dad's flag during the funeral, I expected it to go to my grandmother. Protocol...wife then son. And he was divorced. His flag sit's on my mantle as I type. Children should always outlive their parents. And those of us whom live should never forget the lessons from the dead. “To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”; Thomas Jefferson

And until you draw the line and you're willing to die for what you believe in, they will keep taking and taking and taking and taking, until there is no more left to take. Then, it's all gone, and you're a slave." -bill cooper

Had to elbow my way onto the casket. JJ would have laughed and been proud. [Your rights are] "wherever we're willing to draw a line and say 'you cannot come across this line or I'll kill you.'
