Dixie Divas
“Brownie, once more rolled up in his blanket with only the tip of his nose sticking out one end, snored softly next to me. I lay there after waking, watching the soft light muted by sheers and curtains slowly crawl across the floor and walls. Peace settled around me. I wanted to nail it to the floor to make it linger.
Thoughts of going to Philip Hollandale’s funeral weren’t cheering enough to get me out of bed. I dreaded it. But of course, I couldn’t let Bitty go alone, and not just because I wo...rried so much about her emotional state. Frankly, I worried that Bitty and Parrish Hollandale, Philip’s mother, would make a graveside scene. Unlike Bitty, I’m not as accepting of exciting funerals. I prefer brief, respectful services with a few hymns and no preacher trying to save mourners’ souls. Soul-saving is for a Sunday morning or other scheduled event. Reminding widows and loving family members, even obliquely, that the dearly departed may well be shoveling brimstone is the height of insensitivity.MoreLess
