You'd think a woman
of my age
would have a long
tally of both,
but I don't.
Three of the five
weddings
were for my sisters.
they were
MUST ATTENDS.
One even came
with a plane ticket
from San Diego
to Syracuse.
I don't know how
I avoided funerals.
Maybe it was
in the timing.
Maybe it is
one of those
circumstances
where God will not
give you more
than you can bear.
At any rate
I suck at sympathy.
And being an eloper
myself,
I suck also at empathy
Don't buy the dress
and the roast beef.
send back the
crystal and china
Reach out
your hand
and leap.

This summer I had one wedding to attend and 3 funerals. I don't often have either.
Have a good evening - Kellan
I went to two weddings this Summer, but no funerals.
My Uncle died, but he lives in Arizona and I couldn't afford to go.
