#irish wake

[ghost-kings-court-jester]

Found out people don’t do funeral sandwiches or soups because you don’t do Irish wakes and I knew this but also my brain can not process someone dying and then not going to the house to say your respects and eating funeral sandwiches and soup while talking with the family in the room with the body like it’s so foreign to me.

Spent the past 3 days at my granny’s on my dads side because a relative passed away but we actually had the best Craic. I’ve always said that Irish wakes are the best and I’ll live and die by that statement

In Anthony Copley’s “Wits, Fits and Fancies” 1595: One said to a little child, whose father died that morning, and was layd out in a coffin in the kitchen- ’“Alas, My pretty child. Thy father is now in Heaven”. The child answered, ‘Nay, that he is not, for he is yet in the kitchen".

Irish Wake

A good friend has died. My roommates and I have held an impromptu wake for a old co-worker whom was murdered this Friday, November 10th. 3 bullets. She was a bundle of joy, and she was my first work friend at Sea-Tac. She did not deserve this. Rest in Power Wendi Traynor.

We can’t run out of whisky at an Irish Wake, that’s like, the one rule.

Carly's Wake

Not yet, not yet, don't bury her soul , Her skins too tight, her hearts of gold. Not now, not yet, don't bury her deep, No one is perfect, and neither was she. Don't say, "she's gone", least not yet. You blood thirsty 'death', you've held enough? Don't hold her lungs, and let her breathe. Not yet, not yet, don't take her from me. Wake up, Carly. Wake up, my dear.. Your friends are waiting, your family is here. Wake up, Carly. My dear. Wake up, wake up, oh Carly, oh dear. We laugh, or we cry, and keep you alive. Carly it's too soon, it's too soon to die. If leaving too young, was a part of life. Who am I to cuss, It's wrong! Or It's right! Wake up, Carly. Wake up, my dear.. Your friends are waiting, your family is here. Wake up, Carly. My dear. Wake up, wake up, oh Carly, oh dear.
