My Layla ❤️

Excuse me while I spend all my money on her now.

Also, I remember a certain uncle of ours with a big ass camera at all the funerals and I always was confused by it… thanks for the education on how bizarre traditions truly gave us all complexes. Ya da best!

Yep. Apparently our relatives back in Campobasso have some weird death kink.

Words can’t quite describe the fun of not only have a multi day wake but having the wake in my grandparents house, with my grandfathers body in the house, overnight, where I was expected to actually sleep. I actually went and spent some time with his body in the middle of the night and slipped a magnet that I bought for him as a souvenir of our trip to Florida, in the pocket of his suit. I couldn’t bring myself to stand in line with everyone but I got to say my goodbye quietly by myself.
