You think you’re having a bad day?? Really!

Driving south on Rt.3 in Bowie, we passed by Beale Funeral Home. In the parking lot was a large group of mourners. A very small box with about 25-30 pink balloons.
Snap out of it.

I'm not sure what you're saying here?

okay, I'll t y p e s l o w.
if you're mildly depressed over insignificant issues, this is what you could be doing..

As in, if you think you're having a bad day it could be worse - you could be attending the funeral of your child.

You can't spell it out any simpler than that.

Thanks, I was reading it completely backwards. Greg, you have my apologies for thinking anyone could be that unfeeling.

I was wondering what the people were doing with a box of balloons, but then I dont refer to someone's casket as a box.

I was reading the "snap out of it" part as a message to the mourners.

I thought the "Beale Funeral Home" part set the stage.

It's always interesting how something is crystal clear to me, yet someone else interprets it differently (or vice versa). Not a knock, just marveling at how people can interpret things completely opposite of someone else.

Releasing the balloons is symbolic to letting the soul fly free.
Be at peace little one.

I was also thrown by the parking lot, I am familiar with funeral homes that do the limo out back and not beside a public road, to me that is the strangest part. There is just more space where I'm from though.

The cemeteries in places like NJ also put me in awe how the stones are so close together. My parents lot is standard size in the town cemetary and it's big enough to put a small shed on.

I’ll just keep my thoughts. Maybe, just maybe.....never mind.

Nah, some of us speak "Greg". Post your deep thoughts as they come to you.
