Every family I ever sat with thought their song was different. It usually wasn't.

This weekend I asked you one thing. Pick the song they'd sing in the car. Over 2,000 of you answered. Tonight we're reading them.

No guest. Just me and you. The car songs. The ratchet songs you're haunting your family over. The bottle of water in the fridge nobody touches. Why most eulogies are boring and the one rule that fixes yours. And ask a funeral director anything.

Homework before you leave: back up their text thread, save their voicemail somewhere besides your phone, and write your song down.

If tonight is heavy, call or text 988. Someone's there.

Who sang in the car at your house? Name and song. Put it in the comments.
