horrible end to a horrible day
It's over. It's officially over. I will never see my mother again. However, I must say, i expected the funeral to go a lot worse than it actually did. I managed to hold it together fairly well. Fr. Henry's homily was perfect, and more a lot more people showed up to support me than i thought would.
when we got home, after a minor fiasco with the flowers where my dad forgot to tell me they were at the funeral home picking out which flowers to keep and therefore preventing me from being a part of that, the day seem normal. almost too normal. I went swimming at my friend Michele's pool, we sun bathed, and i was able to forget that things were not normal. until of course her little sister came outside and began asking questions like, "do you cry all the time now?" or "Do you think your dad is crying right now?" or "Are you sad?" but i was able to forgive her for that, as she is fairly young.
we went to dinner and my uncle assisted my brother and i in pulling a hysterical prank on my dad (not going to go into detail as i think you probably had to be there).
Then i decided to go see Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End.
Talk about a horrible movie. Once again, not going to go into detail as I'm sure most of you are going to go see it.
I thought it would cheer me up. Instead it plunged me further into the depths of despair as only a bad Johnny Depp movie can.
so maybe i'm overreacting a little. But only a little.
by the way, happy star wars day.
