The funeral

Have you ever gone to a funeral and wondered why you bothered? I went to one of those today. Husband of a past friend died. Past friend was helped at one point with many services and favors but when the tables were turned wasn't available for me. Out of obedience! I had met the husband years ago and he was a very nice person. Also, they have someone living in their house who is close to me. So I went for the husband and Gladiolous, the person who lives with them. A Catholic priest was the main homilist. He almost made me leave the Catholic faith some years back. I did not know he would be there otherwise I surely would have stayed home. There was another priest there whom I don't trust either. Both priests do things for public consumption which I detest. I am now in a parish where the priest's word is sincere. No public bull shit. Sorry it had to be said that way.
