My Funeral Speech

Here is what I read out at my Grandpa's Funeral. (Red bits are things I did not want to say at the funeral)

Grandpa’s Funeral

Dear Grandpa,

You have been a very special person in the family. You have been very kind in all my life. You lived for a very long time which is quite impressive. You are the first McCoy person in my family that has died while I have been alive. That means that I feel unbelievably upset and sad that I even cried on my first day back at school to start the new term on Wednesday January 4th 2012. Just to remind you that I go to Boxmoor Primary School, and I think that was the best choice I could have had! I had really so much fun with you and the little puzzle books we worked in. On a 1-10 scale of how much I miss you, I will give you, and always will give you, a 10 and if I could go over it I would go over it! I am trying to do as least exclamation marks ( ! ) as I can because I miss you so much. I cannot be more upset. At first when you were alive, I was excited before you had a heart attack about the new year and the 2012 Olympics, but now, you would know how life is now, very, very hard without you. Right now, we would have so much fun celebrating the new year if you were here. My email was danjer787@hotmail.co.uk. Also I want to say all about the jokes that I told you. Some were hilarious, remember? If you can’t, no surprise! My Top 10 Most Valuable Things
 (10 MVT) are,
10. My Calendar on PowerPoint
9. Desk
8. Pens
7. Paper
6. Cars
5. My Bubble Timers
4. Pottery
3. This!
2. Teddy’s
1. MY WHOLE BEDROOM!!!

What do you think?
I have actually been trying EVER so hard to get to my Grade 3 in Piano, but strangely, I missed out Grade 2! Weird, huh?! The reason I am trying EVER so hard to get my Grade 3 is because I will get a netbook! (A type of computer!) We are literally almost crying without you. I will think of you  in almost all of my childhood. Your ashes will be spread in one of our favourite places. If I was allowed/able to draw hearts and kisses, I would do. I think that I would tell as many people at school as I can all about you and you only! I feel so bored without you, if you were here then I would feel SO happy! I wish you could answer this question for me, How do you feel in Heaven?

 I will remember you, all from this letter,

Forever in my heart,

Daniel

  1. Why did you not want to say the red bits?
    Is it because you think it would be embarrassing?
