Shout out to my cousin, a Wiccan, who went to her (much loved and adored) mother’s Christian funeral and delivered a very touching eulogy out of respect for her mother and her beliefs.
And then threw hands with the pastor doing the service, who said that “Not everyone goes to heaven, so just be prepared for that”, and “I don’t know how God will call [great-aunt] to heaven, (she’d been cremated) but I’m sure he’ll figure it out.”
WHILE THE GRIEVING MOTHER AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE FRONT ROW.
He told my cousin, who pointed out that this is a funeral of a much loved woman, and that he should not be saying that to the family, “Oh. Well you’re wrong.”
She tore him a new one. Then she had our ordained grandfather stand up and deliver the rest of the sermon.
So thank you Dea, for putting that man in his place. Your mum was the only one who could defeat my mom at Scrabble. She will be missed.
