I've spent the week trying to grieve while faced being the factotum for my family. No one has proposed any material for the eulogy I have to deliver later this morning. No one helped to put together the video tribute that will run at my mother's viewing.
If anything, I've had nothing but complaints:
- about reaching people through mutual relatives rather than calling them directly
- about requesting that random people whom my mother didn't know not attend
- about not putting pictures of relatives in the video, when good pictures of them with my mother don't exist
- about not streaming the event
- about not having mass cards, programs, etc.
- about not hosting a reception to feed the hordes on my mother's side of the family
- about not choosing a less cold/icy/snowy day than tomorrow
And countless petty others.
I very likely will snap people's heads off tomorrow, if a single one of them complains to my face, because frankly I've just had it with our relatives and my mother's friends.
Back to trying to write a eulogy....
