My family treats funerals as a roast. You'll hear so many embarrassing stories of the deceased that make your eyes water from laughter instead of sadness. It makes funerals easier and allows us to accept the death of our family member. After all, funerals aren't for the dead. They're for the living to help find a way to cope with loss. If it meant helping my family along, I'd be happy with someone cracking jokes about me during my own funeral.

@TruffleSeeker54 7 жыл бұрын

I wish my family did that. It would be nice to look down at my funeral from Heaven and see everyone laughing and sharing memories, even if it was me they were laughing at.

When my son died at age 35 one of his closest friends wrote a eulogy that was a funny and beautiful tribute to him. I still read it once in a while and I cant help but smile past the tears. My son had been shot and killed, a homicide brought about by a woman's uncaring attitude and her need for drama. It was devastating.

Tom Hanks is a genuinely nice man. I was driving around, trying to find a particular building in LA, and I happened to park next to him on a Saturday morning. He was taking his family to play ball in a baseball field. They were ahead of him, and he was locking the car. I asked him for directions and he helped me out, and then I told him he had a little blood on his face from shaving too quickly and running out the door, LOL. Then I noticed I was talking to TOM HANKS! LOL! Super sweet man, and genuine, as you can see in this video.

+Lady BlackstarDust So true. I got my butt swatted a few times and my dad's hand definitely stung. I used my husband's fraternity paddle on our boys when they had really messed up, but looking back at that, I wish I wouldn't have. I've witnessed one of my sons beating his dog. I broke down in tears when we sat down and I talked about it with he and our daughter-in-law. Our granddaughter witnessed it, and while the dog is a big German Shepard, he cried out once. That just tore me to pieces. My son tried to defend his actions but I told him that if he made the dog cry, he went too far. My husband and daughter-in-law were crying with me before I was done. I do think he's gotten better about it, but I blame myself for how I punished he and his brother when they were boys. I truly regret it.

This video is 8 years old. Why has it been in my recommendations for days now. I haven't watched any other Mike's videos or Toms videos. But it was still enjoyable to hear a funny story of the Gentle giant. Rip Mike fly with the angels

Tom Hanks was sharing "A Memory" of what Mike had told him a while back while they were filming the "Green Mile." I know Mike would have been pleased with Tom for allowing a bit of humor in lieu of his memorial service which is very sad and morbid.

I think it was a nice touch, even though Tom Hanks was apparently trying to sound like Bill Cosby or Weird Harold.

Wonderful tribute to a great man.. I’m sure he would have loved to see his family remembering him with a smile on there faces 😊this is how I hope my family send me off, remembering the good and funny times .. life’s to short to wallow in sadness, and I certainly do not want mine to do so after I’m gone .. 😊
