Ocean Farewell

"There better not be a dry eye in the house" my dad warned, when talking about his funeral


Friends and loved ones of Heath Ledger (pictured above) said an emotional farewell to the actor by diving into the ocean at sunset on a beach in his hometown of Perth, Australia on Saturday. My family didn't dive into the ocean after my dad's funeral, but we did play a rousing, lengthy game of family funeral kickball in the rain. My dad insisted that we continue the family rule of NEVER eating the gross, unknown food that is served up in some musty church basement following a funeral. He always said, "If you skip right to dessert, you're generally pretty safe.".
