Yes, I can see how attending a funeral for the first time and at such a young age could have a profound effect. You are right, it immediately confirms our own mortality. I think before that we didn't really believe.
Well written look back.

Comment from Gungalo
It's certainly interesting to see how it affected you. Then with the move over to the big question of how you will die. Sigh, I think it is true for all of us go through it.

yes, it is something , but as I get older I think of less and less ironically.

That's gotta be good!!
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
My interpretation of the funeral was that of staged theatrics. Great Grandma looked as if on display comfortable on her satin cushions, like one of the coupy dolls on my bed. The overpowering smell of cut flowers in the room was one I will never forget, because it was her new dead smell now.
Love that section! You have a way with words and ideas both, and that's all it takes! The last sentence is a perfect ending too!

Quite a lot for an eight year old to think about! Your story was wonderful, a likeable character, with honest questions about life. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from cthompson4
Very thought provoking, especially for an eight year old. I like the discription of her in the coffin, nicely done.
A few things to consider, you don't need to use the , before the word and. Potatos chips should be potato chips.
I especially liked 'Great Grandma's final act with no curtain call. take care, Charlene

Comment from islandergirl
Amazing and extremely thought provoking. When I was a little girl, I too thought about who I would marry and what kind of house I would have and how many kids I would have. I never thought about my own mortality. Now as I am older, I think about it now. Strange, true, but absolutely human to do so.
You made me think and sit back, which is what good writing does. Congrats!
