We had a private ceremony at the cemetary when my
mom passed away last year. After the minister left,
my dad, sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew, Elaine
and I all joined hands and danced around her grave.
The uninitiated would think that disrespectful, but
it was really out of respect. You see, my mom brought
a lot of Danish traditions into our family and one
that we all cherished was dancing around the Christmas
tree singing a short Danish song (the words of which we
didn't understand, but it was a lot of fun), just
before we opened presents. That song embodied
what my mom stood for and it was essentially our last
good-bye to her. (Strangely enough, immediately after we
stopped singing, the sky opened up with a good rainfall)
