Now I've buried so many, I feel like the last man standing, asking in bemusement, Why me?
Just a few years ago, I was telling my cousins that we're the "older generation" now. In the past year, I've buried three aunts, one uncle and one cousin. Only one uncle left - great guy, looks just like Alice Cooper - and he doesn't expect to last the summer. Forty-some cousins left, only one older than me. I tell people I'd rather have them come to my funeral than have to go to theirs.
