Rumor doesn't ruin my moonlight...

Well, We laid Blaze's Grandmother to the ground today. I don't believe I've ever seen a more beautiful casket. The vault was beautiful as well. Brilliant White with pink roses engraved over the entire vault. I entered the funeral home today and went to give roses to Blaze and her Mother. The family was seated behind a curtian which I had to come arround to see them. Let me tell you, I've never felt more uncomfortable in my life. I can endure much, I use to work security in a bad bad part of town and that wasn't as bad. It was as if I was standing infront of a firing squad. I handed two single roses, one to Blaze, one to her Mother. I didn't know what to do else, Blaze accepted the rose with a smile and a look that she was glad that I was there. Her mother on the other hand looked as if she was about to stab me in the chest. It's ok though, I wasn't there for her bitch ass Mother. I was there for Blaze. But apparently I am good for something. I was asked by the Mom to gather the flowers after the graveside service. Yeah, I'm not good enough for her daughter, but apparently I'm a great care-taker. Later, after I was gone, she asked Blaze if I was arround.....aparently she was wondering if I could fix her lawnmower. No, I'm not kidding. Even after a year, and after Blaze has told her time and time again that my nationality was Thai, while I was gathering flowers with Blaze, she was sitting eating with the relatives and laughing about me...saying I was aparently "Samoan...." yeah, they got a real kick out of that. I'm sure the word "Lynch Mob" is the same in my "native tongue..." My Father told me that a funeral is no time to start a confrontation...his words and my Fiance are the reason I didn't shoot flames from my eyes at that group of ignorant hicks....

Just remember, once you are married there is no law saying that Mother has to be in your life together. A little emotional distance can do wonders for making a parent grow up. I should know, it worked wonders for me.

Oh, by the way, you got a receipt for those roses, right?
Your dad's right, a funeral is no place for a confrontation. However, if it is between two other relatives, it can be HI-larious. Especially if Alkeehol is involved.

lol. If Blaze and I could support our selves and each other, I'd marry her very quickly...

"Her boyfriend ain't from 'round here, is he?"
"Nope. He's from Union City."
