This past week or so has been the craziest one in a long long time. Also been a very sad one...As most of you know, Dave's dad passed away Wednesday morning...I've spent every possible minute with him, making sure that he is okay. It hurt me so much to see him hurting...he's my best friend, and I never want to see friends like that in so much pain...so I stayed by his side for just about all of it. I wish that I could have been there more for him at the funeral home itself...but I know the time that we were there meant a lot to him. He is doing very well, as is his family. There will be many rough times ahead for them...but they have a lot of support behind them. I did the strangest thing when I was at the funeral home...well it was only strange to me because I did it more now than when he was alive...but I talked to him...and I mean really talked to him. I told him not to worry, and that I promised to look out for Dave and to take care of him. Dave has so much going for him, and he will make his dad proud of him the way he wants him to be.
Today was the actual funeral...it was a beautiful service...very sad, but thats expected. It broke my heart to see Dave and his brother cry...I cried a lot...I swear sometimes I feel like it had happened to me too. I know its a strange thought as well, but thats just how I feel sometimes. After the service we went to the luncheon...then back home for a few hours. Dave picked me up and we headed to the new strips off of Southfield...I'm not sure if they were all that great...but I enjoyed spending that time with him. Afterwards we met the gang at Ford Lanes for some bowling. Weird night...it was really scary for a minute...I actually started to see stars at one point...I had to sit down for a minute. Anyways it was kind of a strange night...not sure why, but strange nonetheless. Anyways, Larry's new friend Brandi came along. I really like her...she's really nice and fun too :)
After bowling we went to Rams Horn and then Dave drove me home. We sat in my driveway and talked for a really long time. I'm really glad that he feels like he can confide in me. He certainly needs to turn to someone!! I really do believe that I have made this easier on him...and I'm very happy that I do that...honored even :)
Now its time to catch up on all of my schoolwork...and hopefully some sleep!! I havent been getting much of that lately! I'm not sure if I am going into work tomorrow...Wednesday for sure...looks like I am closing. If I work tomorrow then I will have Thurs off...then I will work Friay night and Saturday midday I think...haunted houses Sat???
anyways, bedtime night all :)
