A Can't Miss Opportunity

A Service Attended

100 Word Story Contest Winner 
Church isn't something that I have been attending as of late, in fact, for quite some time.  I haven't been compelled.  Not that I don't believe in a greater Spirit or God, it just hasn't been important.
 
On this day, I found myself seated in St. Mary's Church for Sunday Mass.  The strange thing about it were those in attendance.  My wife and three children, a best friend and the one brother of three that I kept in touch with over the years.
 
I quickly closed my eyes to ensure I wasn't dreaming.  Unfortunately I wasn't, it was my funeral.

I actually had attended service the day I wrote this. Heard the most beautiful song in the middle of Mass that had me clapping at its conclusion. I need to be prepared for that unexpected event!
