I was just thinking that maybe, and since the whole funeral is being taken with that joy of his life thing, maybe there was a truly joyful moment of laughter and then someone get all up in their face and "snap" you've got disrespectful whosit and whatsit. And maybe you've got a "treasure your loved one because they may one day be gone" moment and "snap" having to placate an annoyed wifey. God, to be a fly on the wall...eh?

I captured the scene reflexively. All around me in the stadium, South Africans were dancing, singing and laughing to honour their departed leader. It was more like a carnival atmosphere, not at all morbid. The ceremony had already gone on for two hours and would last another two. The atmosphere was totally relaxed – I didn’t see anything shocking in my viewfinder, president of the US or not. We are in Africa." <br /><br />http://blogs.afp.com/correspondent/?post/Selfie#.UqhWU17C31o.twitterShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502033976479720890noreply@blogger.com
