[QUOTE="mattsmom27, post: 10133, member: 50"] So glad your family can find laughter in trying times. What a gift! The night my dear aunt (more like my mother) passed, we said our prayers and goodbyes at hospital and headed to a family friends house. Sitting with my brother, his g/f and my cousin (it was her mom who passed, on my cousins birthday to boot). We were all sort of lost and at a loss on anything to say etc. My cousin started giggling and we all thought she was a second away from losing it. She then said she was laughing picturing her mother being glad that while in hospital through Christmas (she passed early Jan) my aunt gave my cousin her credit cards and made her shop shop shop for special gifts on my aunts behalf for family members. She racked all of her cards to the limit, from her hospital bed!!! She had a few months before added a premium to her card allowing for the bills paid in full in event of her death. Knowing my aunt as I did, she WOULD be laughing at getting the last laugh at the expense of the "bloodsucking credit company leaches". We all ended up laughing our butts off at this. Just 2-3 hours after losing my aunt. I smile to this day remembering the gift of laughter she left us with at a time where it felt like a piece of all of us had passed. I don't think your family is strange ... I think it is great. I sure hope your 3 things are indeed out of the week and the rest of 2007 brings you and and all members of your extended family alot of joy and no more trauma. Melissa [/QUOTE]
