Sadness and Sunshine
Went to Peters funeral today. It was lovely, if a little two catholic for my tastes. The best part was, Peter was covered head to foot in Giger Tattoos. Well, neck to wrist and ankle anyway. His urn was a Giger egg, like on Alien. It was beautiful, and touching. Eric's eulogy made me cry so much I though I would choke. I saw people I hadn't seen in 8 years. Some have changed, some haven't. Evidently I haven't, though I've been through several lifetimes worth of change in that time, so it seems odd that everyone would recognize me immediatly.
The first annual memorial barbeque was after.(this is where the sunshine comes in. It was very, very bright) Again, it was a very family thing, and no part of Peter was present. I'm glad I went though, seeing as the alternative was to come home alone and pack more. After all that crying.... not really in the mood for that.
Said my farewells to the Arclight tonight, saw The Prestige with my other Eric. I loved it, he was "eh". They totally got me. I thought I had it all figured out. Heh.
It's nice to have closure. I think I'm almost there with Peter. I still can't delete him from my cell phone though. I'm not sure when I'll be ready for that.
