Memories

I got a call this week that left me a little stunned.  My ex husband passed away.  They are calling it natural causes but I suspect the meth was a major factor.

His family asked my daughter what songs she would like for the funeral.  There is a problem.  All the normal daddy songs won't work.  Daddy's Hands, Dancing with Cinderella, Butterfly Kisses. Those songs talk about relationship and love.  She never had either one with him.

He never could just be content.  He had to be the center of attention at a party.  Add in weed, meth and Natural light and the party was on.  I know for a fact that he would love Margaritas ville and Red Solo Cup.

We finally settled on this one.


 



What do you think?  Any more ideas?  This is hard.

Highway to Hell was on my short list but I don't think his family would approve.

Inappropriate suggestions welcome.  I am relieved he is gone.  I don't have to hide anyone.  I can visit my family and not be afraid.

  2. Thanks Cat, She feels a little guilty that she didn't try harder but relationships go two ways. She said it was like hearing about some cousin she never met. No delayed reaction. Just nothing. We had a little fun talking about the music. We both agreed that Red Solo Cup was perfect.

    I'll share your list with her. Maybe she can put a little play list together before she has to leave. It will be a three day trip with an uncle she has only met a few times. Fun times.
