[QUOTE="Star*, post: 68903, member: 4964"] KFld, Don't second guess yourself. If it were a birthday party and you made ALL the arrangements absolutely perfect, the right cake, matching streamers, perfect gift, lovely sunny day....home cleaned, children smiling like they were all easy child and your hair and dress was spot on? THERE WOULD STILL BE SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD SAY: "I didn't like the..." and there you have it. You can't please everyone all of the time, but you lived with your Mom LONGER than anyone of them, and all you can say is "I KNOW MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS BETTER BECAUSE SHE WAS SO FULL OF LIFE AND TRADITIONAL FUNERALS...depressed her." Know in your heart dear...she's proud of you and your effort to celebrate her life. With that being said...celebrating her death just sounds morbid, and if your mom was anything like you? You have a right to make it a celebration. Tell the others that squawk...."Well when it's YOUR day, we'll all be sure to have a traditional ceremony and celebrate your death - but how sad not to celebrate your life." then walk away and think of this conversation. YOU ARE DOING GREAT KID....don't doubt yourself. Hugs TLR [/QUOTE]
