My grandma passed away recently. The lucky thing is that it wasn’t a particularly serious funeral. A lot of people stood up to tell good memories and we all laughed together. But at this moment no one else laughed except my brother-in-law and me. A man stepped up that no one recognized in a very fancy suit (this was noticeable because the requested attire was casual because you would never have caught my grandma dressed up). He told a story of how he met my grandma when he was 8 years old and fell madly in love with her. He told how she had married and he’d lost his chance and then she’d divorced but he was married and finally how when my grandpa had died (just months before) and he was single he finally saw his chance to be with the woman he loved. He told of how he had written letters back and forth with my grandma for the last few months but then she had died and now his chance was gone forever. Then he stood there at the podium to an absolutely silent room staring at him in shock. But my brother-in-law made eye contact with me with a look of horror on his face and I lost it. We both laughed to tears. The guy stepped down and my uncle rushed up to save the day by telling another funny story about my grandma. Some of my family members were upset that we had laughed at that moment. The poor guy was probably traumatized, though I think it serves him right tbh. It’s such a creepy thing to say about how now that someone’s dead you lost your chance to be with them. Wut.
