You can't make this stuff up...


This past week has been a really hard week for me...we had to pick out the tombstone for Olivia...and there were several other things that happened that made me really sad....I just really want to feel normal again...
When we went in to the funeral home for the first time...we met with this guy to help us make the arrangements...when we got there he kept talking about "the boys"...he would say the "boys and I go to the Montage in Laguna Beach" or "the boys and I love eating...." finally I asked how old "the boys" are...and he pointed to the picture of the dogs and then left the office to go get something....Doug and I could not stop laughing...i'm sure this sounds a little rude...and probably inappropriate...but, seriously you had to be there...I was just emotionally exhausted and he talked about "the boys" as if they were human---did he not realize why we were there?

When I went to drop of the clothes for Olivia (it was a VERY frustrating process) I was a little agitated so I took Brenna into the office where we met and showed her the picture and was able to snap a picture with my phone....then when we went there last week to pick out the tombstone we peeked into his office and saw an "updated" picture...more spring like of "the boys"...I just started to laugh...so, whenever Doug wants to make me smile...he just says "what do you think the boys are doing today?"....

That is hilarious! Makes you wonder if he does it on purpose just to lighten the mood for his clients... I don't know, it's hard to take something like that seriously!
