Now some morbid stuff… I hate having to think about this probably as much as you guys are going to hate reading it but unfortunately it’s got to be done. I’ve told my mom what I’m doing, I’m going to bring whatever comes of this to her house next time I go visit and she promised she’ll get it to you as soon as anything happens me. You’re probably wondering why I didn’t entrust it to one of you guys. Well I’m not sure I have an answer for that that makes much sense but in some kind of weird way having to talk to one of you about this would somehow make the possibility more of a reality and brave as I’m pretending to be it doesn’t stretch that far.
Anyway, back to the morbid stuff. I’ve always wondered about the whole idea of planning your own funeral. Before I got sick I strongly believed that funerals were for those that got left behind and really it wasn’t up to the person who died to have a say. I still believe that in a way but what I’ve come to realise is that you leave a variety of people behind who are all going to need and want different things so maybe it’s up to me give some direction.
I know my parents are totally foreign creatures to you guys. Their lives are defined by a brand of politics and religion that openly rejects the kind of people we are (that includes you Kit you’re definitely an honorary lesbian at this stage even if you do have a good thing going with that Manny of yours!) Seriously though, I don’t expect you guys to understand them in much the same way I’ve stopped trying to get them to understand me but they are my parents and I do love them and despite everything I know they love me. So, I’ve spoken to them, well to my dad really my mom wouldn’t talk to me about it she said it was defeatist to even be discussing it. I think my dad’s logical personality can relate to my need to put some things in order though. Anyway I told him I was alright with them having a religious service but that they had to include you guys as best they could and I didn’t want any crazy minister up the front preaching about how I’ll be spending eternity burning in hell for my terrible life choices. I don’t think even my crazy parents would go that far!

awww yay. I’m glad Dana had the forethought to write this all out for her friends. That’s real love for ya. Now if only they could have shown even a smidgen of that kind of resolution in the show.
Damn but that really hit in the heart, made me’s even more ticked off how her parents treated Dana and the gang in the show. Beautiful story and really you deserve all the WOWS cause really sums it up!
WOW. that’s all I can say. WOW this is absolutely great! Please continue the good work. I really hope We’d get to read the personal letters hehe. They are a great family, it’s just unfortunate that that letter was way overdue. At least Alice did make the right decision of having their own funeral the way she wanted, proves how close they truly were. Even if Dana’s dead i think this good that after all that’s happened they’re finally able to have some sort of closure and that they all can talk about Dana again. I don’t even think Tasha knows about D even on the show. Anyway, thanks for updating and PPS:D
I second that WOW! Beautifully written and so emotional. Well Done this really is amazing, can’t wait to see what everyone has in their parcels and Damn Sharon and Irwin for putting her in the damn family vault!!
I endorse that first WOW and want to add one of my own. WOW!!! Now that the tears are over and I can see to type, I can say it’s amazing how well Dana knew them and how well Alice knew her also. The seniments in that letter are so heartfelt. I love it. PPS.
And yet another WOW – this is awesome – I am about to go on holiday, but don’t want to now, as want to read more of this.
This will be the 5th “WOW”. What more can I say. This just brought tears to my eyes agaion. That means you have written a fantastic chapter! Like I said before, I will never get over D’s death. Thank you for writing this story.
