Black Relationships : Funerals, The New Black Family Reunions...

[SwagII]

Attending Black Funerals, as much as we hate to admit it, attending a funeral is where you run into ole friends that you lost contact with or family members you don't see for one reason or another. Funny how a funeral brings them all back together but rarely does it spark a live gathering any time soon thereafter. I myself have attended a funeral and saw folks, friends and relatives, etc., that I haven't seen in years, etc. Who here agrees with me...

Btw, Many black folk that are relatives don't really live that far apart, etc. But you won't see them until there's a funeral, etc. folks just don't visit anymore, etc. They could live around the corner, etc. but let someone die and they will call for information and see you at da funeral! I wonder why families don't gather more often?

As I view it, this is actually what funerals have actually become, "Family Reunions." And I think most of you will agree with SwagII here! Yeah I know, nobody wants to talk about such events, etc. But to tell the truth, "It Is What It Is!" Later...

Went to a funeral the other day and really saw folks, friends & relatives that I haven't seen in years! Many of this didn't live far from me, etc. Yet we never communicated, etc. Saw some cousins too! Everybody agrees that we really ned da get together soon, etc. I've heard that so many times, etc. I guess folks just don't visit these days, etc. Looks I get to meet family at a funeral. That's why I have said that funerals are the new family reunions! Whuchu think??
