Another Funeral I Missed

I have learned yesterday that last week the mother of a friend has died so I wanted to go to the feneral service.  Someone told me that he can give me a ride so I waited for him to come until it got dark.  Fustrated I called my friend to see if he can give me a ride...but at that time the service is already over.  There is going to be another one tomarrow, given it's location I can walk there.  I swear that the only funeral service that I will get to in time would be my own.  I have to learn how not to be late.
