I was always scared to death at funerals. Even now it bothers me. As I sat there, I was afraid the people would rise up out of the coffins and take revenge upon those who had wronged them and I was most scared at my Father's funeral because I'd had so many nightmares around his death where he'd chased me with an axe and told me it was my fault. I was afraid that, as I bent down to kiss him, he would start choking me to death so he could take me with him.
