Have you ever loved someone so much that it made you cry?
*sigh*I’m going to go on record to say that I’m a bit embarrassed about this. I know there will be some people (if anyone reads this) who will say I shouldn’t be embarrassed. I’m sure there will be people who will think I’m some kind of wuss.Oh well. Here goes….If you follow me, it’s no secret that I love my wife, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that this answer is about her.Our wedding day, despite some minor issues, was a great day. The setting, reception, the food: all great. The moment that stands out the most to me, however, was our dance.Our song was “Everything” by Lifehouse. It’s a beautiful song. It’s also a fairly long song, especially for a wedding dance. My wife looked into my eyes and sang that song to me as we danced. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have someone who clearly loved me so much. You could see it in her eyes. Later my wife told me that one of the women who worked the reception even said that she’d never seen a bride look as happy as she did.Fast-forward to the following night after our wedding. I was having trouble sleeping and then my mind decided to play the cruel trick it occasionally likes to do, and started thinking dark thoughts. Some of those thoughts touched on what I would do if I lost my wife. Some thoughts touched on the fact that I didn’t deserve her. I kept replaying our dance in my head and I kept seeing her beautiful face singing those beautiful words to me. I saw the love in her eyes and the smile she wore as she sang.I don’t deserve a love like that.I don’t know what I would do if I ever lost her.Eventually those cruel thoughts overwhelmed me, and I started to cry. I cried pretty hard. Hard enough to wake my poor wife who was sleeping next to me. Of course she asked what was wrong and I had to explain why her new husband’s pathetic sobs woke her from a perfectly good sleep.Like I said earlier, embarrassing.In the end, I am who I am. I guess there are worse things than being capable of intense emotions.Now if you’ll excuse me, I just knocked my chocolate, creme-filled doughnut on the floor, so I’m off to the bathroom to cry.
What is that music video with the bald woman singing and crying that is really famous?
Everyone's right (except she wasn't 40 when she sang it) but the song is actually spelled out "Nothing Compares 2 U" and was written by Prince.
I need some funeral etiquette "for dummies" please. I'm attending my first funeral.?
You don't need to bring a Bible with you. Just show up, wear something understated, perhaps some black dress pants with a nice button-down shirt; nothing pink or otherwise bright. You don't have to show up looking like Ozzy Osbourne, just keep in mind that this isn't a sunshine & rainbows type of thing. You'll be doing a lot of hugging and shaking hands, so don't let that weird you out. Sit with the friends, unless you get drafted into the family seating, as I did with my best friend's Dad's funeral. Otherwise, don't crack jokes or try to make people laugh, don't be weird, don't try to draw attention to yourself. You know...just be polite and quiet; it's going to be rather solemn. Oh, and if anyone cries, don't stare or make a big deal out of it. If it's a guy and you feel like you need to do something, a firm pat on the back will do it. You're probably going to end up hugging a lot of crying females.
What's the gathering after a funeral called?
It's a wake; the name comes from the olden times, when they used to hold the party before actually burying the person. This was before embalming was commonly practised, and they wanted to ensure that the "dead" person was really, you know, dead. So it was basically one last chance for the dead person to "wake" up.
If you could tell your ex one last thing, what would you say?
I am really thankful to you for teaching me some of the finest lessons of my life.You taught me how great I look. It was you who made me feel wonderful. After meeting you I realised that “Beauty is not how you look. It's about how you represent yourself.”It was the relationship with you that taught me that sex is not a necessity in any relationship. Your relationship can survive without even hugs. We never hugged or kissed each other, still we were together.It was you who taught me that looking in your partner's eyes is the sexiest gesture you can pull off. It's amazing gazing continuously in the eyes of your loved one and talking to each other, without uttering a word.It was you who taught me that you should be ready to make some extra efforts to make a relationship interesting. From love letters that we passed secretly to phone calls that we made even after knowing the worst outcomes, I remember everything.Finally, it was you who taught me that if you want to stay happy in life, learn to detach yourself from the people who are gone.Thanks once again for the most important lesson of my life.You left, and I cried for days. I waited for you, for months. But, you didn't appear.And when I heard about you after a long, it was about your engagement.But, by then, I was emotionally stable. I just smirked. That's it. I didn't laugh. I didn't cry either.Your absence made me stronger. I hated you for few months initially. But, then I placed you as one of the most beautiful parts of my life. I don't hate you anymore.You were amazing. I respect you, still, for all the love and care that you showered on me.I had many questions for you. But, I don't want answers anymore.Some questions are better unanswered.Some paths are better unwalked.Thank You. May God Bless You, And Your Husband.
