I have this thing about people taking pictures during a funeral that really bothers me, I think its rude and intrusive, kinda like paparatzi going nuts over the famous people. So there was a little boy, maybe 10 or 12 years old who lost his Father suddenly to a car wreck. He was wearing this dark blue suit that looked like it had just been pulled off a hanger in the store and put on. He was uncomfortable you could tell but he was just really holding it together. Anyways he comes walking up to the casket and he stops just at his Dad, grabs hold of the side of the casket and looks in. He doesnt cry or say anything he just sat there looking at his Dad. It was so touching. I never EVER cry at these funerals but I did drop a few tears for him. Maybe its PMS or something but looking at this little boy watching his Father just made me so sad. He standing there for awhile just having his moment with his Dad when this stupid bitch comes along and starts snapping pictures of him looking at his Dad like its a fucking photo op for a star. It pissed me off so bad. It was everything I could do not to walk over to her and just clock her in the face. The Funeral Director asked her to stop because she seriously was like leaning on the flower stands to get a better angle. How fucking stupid and rude can you be? Give the boy a chance to say goodbye his way without taking pictures of "A distraught child at a funeral " (Pic 1) . So after the bitch was asked to sit down the boy continued looking at his dad. I swear it was so sad. He never cried or anything, finally after a while he grabbed his Dads hand and held it than walked back over to his seat. It was such a dramatic time. I couldnt imagine what was going through his head. I havent lost anyone close to me in many years. I have assisted and attended more funerals than I can count, but none affected me like this one. I have seen babies, toddlers, teens, adults and many elderly people in caskets but none affected me like this little boy did and he wasnt even the deceased. I have thought about the image of him looking at his Dad for a few nights now. I cant get the scene out of my mind at all and its not like me to latch onto something from my work and think about it over and over. I cant get his face and posture out of my mind. I've tried but every night since the viewing I havent been able to get it out of my head. Im thinking labatomy might do the trick.
