Imagine knowing your time is limited, and all you desire is a farewell that truly reflects your vibrant, quirky personality. But your strict, religious parents have a different, traditional vision. This is the reality for a 25-year-old woman, living her last days due to cystic fibrosis. She wants laughter, upbeat music, confetti, and most importantly, a cat-shaped urn. Her parents? They're planning hymns, prayers, and a casket. Now, she's contemplating taking control of her own funeral. Will she succeed, or will familial conflict mar her final days? 🐱⚱️🎉
