If they want to mourn, let them wear black, drive a black car or tie black ribbons to it. It's just not fair to the rest of us to have to have the details of the deaths in our faces. Just because little so-and-so died at the age of four, doesn't mean that the rest of us have to remember her.
And I don't think that a baby's or child's death is any more tragic than the death of an adult, even an old adult. I suppose next, women who have suffered miscarriages will want to post that information up on the windows of their cars...
And people who die in car accidents because they were talking or texting on their cellphone, driving too fast in their SUV's, or not wearing seatbelts get absolutely NO sympathy from me.
That post was even colder than the last one....It is so cold I feel frost coming off my computer screen.
I have a wreath that hangs in a shadow box in my home that was woven well over 100 years ago from the hair of dead family members....it was a way to honor them, keep them close, and the women weaving the hair were able to gather to remember the dead...
I had forgotten until reading this that my best friends grandmother had a framed "art work" that was woven from the hair of one of her dead relatives. It was very beautiful, but I remember thinking it kind of morbid. I was only about 9 or 10 at the time and have never seen anything like it again.
I will say, there are some darn funny bumper stickers out there and I have a good chuckle reading them but after I had a small political sticker on my car and a wild woman in a minivan was screaming and using "international sign language" towards me, I took it off and will not have another one on the car...with the exception of parking decals, school decals ( 3x3 maybe) and inspection stickers.
Yeah, I got a chuckle and an "ewwwww" from this one:
"If it smells like salmon, keep on jammin'. If it smells like trout, get the hell out!"
My only concern about the person in driving in front of me is that they are alert and sober. I don't need to know they are are Christian, or have a child who is an honor student or that they lost a loved one.
Any thoughts on people that get tattoos in memory of someone they loved and lost??
How about people who keep the ashes of their loved ones on the mantle??
Memory gardens??
Should we do away with Memeorial Day for those who don't want to reminded of those who have died in service to our nation??
Those are just totally different . My peeve is with using your car as a billboard to say "my ____ died" and then people are saying people do that for personal rememberance not to let everybody on the road know about their personal loss?
however a person morns they're loss, it's they're business...just because they do something that someone else might not agree with, doesn't make you right and them wrong, it's how you feel, and I really can't believe this is an issue...
I don't care either way...it surely doesn't offend me....
Gosh, what is this country coming to, that people actually try and tell others how to grieve human loss....
yanno, not everyone thinks and feels alike, which is our right...as an American Citizen....
I don't believe they're doing it for sympathy, and if they are so what? Maybe they're really really hurting...some people get through something like that...others never do....
we lost a classmate to a car accident...her mother was a wonderful person, she was like a kid herself and picked us all up for our sporting events...after her daughter died, she died to, and was never the same, she didn't even know some of us...she was like a walking zombie...
no one knows what they will do until they go thru it themselves, and everyone is different, everyone has they're own way of handling things....
and it is their right to do so.
