1. Yes, often. Nice to see a couple starting their life together. HUZZZAH🍻🍻🍻

2. I have cried at funerals many times, it’s embarrassing but here we are.

3. Yes, I love the holidays with family members but there are a few that I avoid so as to keep the peace.

How’s about you?

1. Do ever you rejoice at a Wedding?

Yes, I rejoiced at my son's wedding and my sister's wedding. They were two of the happiest days of my life. As far as I can remember I've enjoyed every wedding I've attended but at some I was a more distant spectator.

2. Cry at a personally important funeral?

No. The way grief hits me seems to be initial shock during the surreal time right after someone's death and then crying later when something reminds me of them.

3. Enjoy the various holidays but avoid certain family members?

I enjoy the holidays overall but they've changed a lot for me over the years since the death of my grandparents. There are aspects to holidays that can be hard. I enjoy getting together with family, though. Any family troublemakers no longer attend.

Best of luck to your son and sister, marriages often work out when there is loyalty, communication and adoration👍

I have wept embarrassingly like a typical Irishman at several funerals…
Can’t help it, it’s just too final!
Then gotten dopey drunk right after.

My annoying brothers in law STILL show up for holidays, what a bunch of pains in the ass!

Believe it or not, in private I'm a tenderhearted softie. 😁

Our recent PMs lead me to believe this to be completely true.

I believe you, we are not unlike in many respects👍
