A Colourful Funeral

Have u ever been to a funeral?? Not any funeral "A Colourful Funeral" ^_^aha

I'll tell you the story:

"Never have I been to a funeral before.. My parents avoided taking us but now as I'm grown up and I'm in my country surrounded with family..It is something you have to do.
A family funeral was my first. A very close family member died, she was a wonderful person.. never knew her that much, visited her 3 or 4 times. I wished that I knew her more or at least visited her more.. she had a pretty and smiley face, always joking and laughing ^_^ (May GOD rest her soul).

Anyways, we went to help and give our condolences to her family, the house was really crowded.. women in one part and men in another. As my mama went ahead of me to the women section I entered behind her shocked as it was my first time in a funeral, sad and scared of the eyes staring.. I felt as if I was in a slow motion movie or dream.. it didn't feel real.. *_*
As I sat on a chair next to the door, I started looking at the sum of women going in and out of the house.. Suddenly I noticed the colourful "Toob" that women ware (Toob: a traditional long piece of cloth silk or cotton that woman surround themselves with, always colourful and with beautiful designs)..

It was really a colourful funeral indeed.. each Toob with its unique design and colour no woman ware like the other one, what made the funeral a rainbow of colours or a fashion show in other wards ^_^ loOol.. this was really an interesting sad colourful funeral.."
