I found out the day of her wake that she loves singing Superman by five for fighting....

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
Bout a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream?
And it's not easy to be me

Up up and away away from me
Well it's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me, yeah
Inside of me, inside of me
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
And it's not easy, it's not easy to be me

And I also remembered her saying a month before she passed away. She once told me, " Mommy, I want my coffin to be violet, flowers, ribbons and even the dress I will wear in my wake." I brushed it off and joked about it with her saying I should go first not her.  And I was also surprised that she also told her bestfriend about it.

Was she ready for death? Did she felt her tume was near? Was she really sick and hid it from me?

She never wanted to burden me specially when it was money matters. She was very considerate but a bit selfish in the end for she thought it was wise to keep it all to herself. But I know she has her reasons....

We tried our best to make everything in the shade of violet. We even changed her dress from white to violet. And her coffin was showered with purple hearts with dedications from friends and family. Violet balloons amd violet ribbons on each friends and family.
