My step-grandfather passed away on Wednesday morning.... for some reason I just didn't feel like mentioning to anyone until last night, can't even say why. He was 92 so it was not unexpected, but for Gord it now means that both his parents are gone and that has to be hard on him. It just makes me think of how it's going to feel when my mom is gone, and it's such an empty feeling.
The funeral is on Monday, and I am really not looking forward to it. Romanian Orthodox services are loooooong, and when my grandmother died I fainted at the church from all the incense and the standing up and down, ugh. Let's just hope that Tristan doesn't pitch a fit and we can get through it without incident. Not a pleasent thing to go to your first funeral when you're only 4 months old, but at least it'll give everyone the opportunity that hasn't met Tristan already to see him.
