Teesy Weesy

We had someone come in to view there mother not long ago. They came back to the office saying that it did not look like her. Our immediate thought was that we had shown her the wrong body (not good for business that) but it was the fact that the illness had taken it's toll. We are not trained hairdressers, yet we curl and tongue and style! We are not trained make up artists but we powder and apply lipstick and mascara (and that's just me at weekends). We sometimes even have photo's to work to and try our best to make the person look as they were, before death. But on this occasion the person apologised ,saying that it did not look like her mother in hospital either. It's strange that in some cases people look younger when they pass away then again some change completely. I suppose I wish I had never gone to see my mum as the illness had ravaged her and I did not recognise her. I had to go though as I had been serving away in the Army. It really is up to your inner voice if it is right or wrong to view a loved one. Only you will know what the voice is saying and only you can listen or ignore it!
