And when I say this, I mean before they actually died. So, can you describe the funniest moment(s) you had with that person? I don't mean to be offensive, just asking...

My mother had taken several of us to the roller rink for the afternoon skate, and her wig fell to the floor and rolled away when someone got too close to her and knocked her down. She was embarrassed, but I thought she had just lost her head!

Another time, she called and said some kind of animal was in the flue above her fireplace. I stuck a mirror up into the area to have a look, and seeing the biggest owl I had ever seen almost gave me a heart attack ... but then I realized I had just used the magnifying side of my mother's makeup mirror.

My friend and I use to lounge around Starbucks or Borders and he'd throw spitballs or nuts at people while they were passing by.

He use to love books and because I felt alone in having no background education surrounded by academia students making fun of me, he would often mock them in what they didn't know. He was always standing up for me and he could be a real smartass.

I miss him so much.... :(

a few months before sinisa died, his friend rudy told him he needed to be more grounded. a few days pass.

we three are hanging out. sinisa says, "hey, come up to my apartment. i have something to show you."

when we got to his room, sinisa pointed to several white plastic buckets filled with sand he'd gotten from the beach.

"there, see? grounded!"

My grandmother who died in April last year was incredible charming and funny in all kinds of ways. On her deathbed she asked about the whereabouts of MY CAT!

And some years earlier I wanted to take a photo with her together with me, my husband and my uncle. She had a stick to help her with walking. When I pressed the selfshutter on my cam and ran to stand next to the others she throwed the stick away. That was so funny and we asked why did she do that. She said it was embarrasing as it indicated she was getting older.

When I later on saw the result of the photo you can see the stick on the ground a bit away from her. Just a funny memory detail
