This is amazingly hilarious. I love your take on keeping a memory alive. Are you sure this is fiction and not a personal history disguised as such? Damn, one shouldn't laugh at funeral stories, but this did a good job at churning the contents of my stomach. :D

This is a perfect little story based on a paradox: the narrator's act of mourning is totally authentic and totally inappropriate.

Very vulnerable of you. I’ll admit at my last funeral I spent a little too long admiring how I looked in a suit, and I don’t know if that’s better or worse.
