    (can’t edit my own posts, AGAIN)

    I’ll add: Worked with a man from Nigeria who had this sort of family. When his mom died it took months to get the funeral together because 600 people were coming. (Yes, same number as the quote, coincidence.) 600 family members, all known to one another, coming together to celebrate a single person’s life. Imagine that.

    He was one of the happiest men I’ve ever known and his family was absolutely sane and loving.
