Speechless

<b>How do you give a eulogy when you can&#146;t think of one good thing to say? A poignant funny and candid look at grief family secrets difficult people and learning to look behind the facade.</b><br><br>As if being stuffed into last year&#146;s dress pants at his cousin&#146;s wake weren&#146;t uncomfortable enough thirteen-year-old Jimmy has just learned from his mother that he has to say a few words at the funeral the next day. Why him? What could he possibly say about his cousin who ruined everything they did? He can&#146;t recall one birthday party family gathering or school event with Patrick that didn&#146;t result in injury or destruction. As Jimmy attempts to navigate the odd social norms of the wake he draws on humor heartfelt concern and a good deal of angst while racking his brain and his memory for a decent and meaningful memory to share. But it&#146;s not until faced with a microphone that the realization finally hits him: it&#146;s not the words that are spoken that matter the most but those that are truly heard.
