I'm having second thoughts about my tasteless little jibe at Tammy Faye
Bakker. Not sure why my taste-meter wasn't working. I'd read something
about how she insisted on make-up even through her surgery and something
about that seemed absurd.
There is, however, something touching about how people wish to present
themselves at the end. My brother says that a few days before my father
died, he asked my brother if he thought my mother (to whom he had been
married for 60 years) would come for him. Then, on the day of his death, he
got up and put on a dress shirt, tie and jacket, which caused my brother to
tease him, asking if he were preaching somewhere that day. Dad said, "It's a
special day." He died during his noontime nap.
