Funerals

It has been a rough week, one of our school teachers passed away earlier this week and the funeral was today. With all the things that were planned for the school week everyone kept busy, but, I digress. Back to funerals. I know that the idea behind funerals is to celebrate ones life but those left behind are mourning and being a sympathy cryer, I cry, quite a bit. I never find myself knowing exactly what to say and this morning had trouble deciding what to wear. After staring at my closet, trying one outfit and deciding it wasn't conservative enough, I settled on a black pencil skirt, a blouse, and a black suite jacket. I have to say that I was a little surprised at some of the attire of attendees. Don't get me wrong, I am all for being comfortable, but jeans, really? I know that a good pair of jeans can be expensive but expensive doesn't necessarily mean appropriate. There is a place for jeans, and I know this is my own personal opinion and issue, but a funeral is not that place.
