I've been to several funerals in the past few years.
One was for a kid in my class who died of leukemia. That was a major fucking bummer. My whole class went... I actually don't remember much of the service, but I was crying and I didn't even know the kid. It was just kind of tragic.
Another funeral was for my friend's father who was stabbed to death one afternoon last summer. Some kid wanted his cell phone and he wouldn't give it to him. Then his sons found him outside bleeding. So there's another tragedy. The funeral followed suit.
I also went to a wake, which I guess doesn't really count, but it was fucked up as well. This kid was dismantling his grandpa's gun and shot his 12 year-old sister in the head. That was more shocking than anything else though.
So yeah. Lots of death!
