So
The rememberance was sad but nice. The saddest part was watching Kyle's 88 year grandad sobbing like a child. This is a man who was in WWI. A man who was known for being stern and mean. It just about killed me. He was so tough and so mean, that none of his childern sat next to him at this time of need (5 sons and 1 daughter, the daughter is K's mom, she's exempt from this because she was heading the ceremony). K has never known the mean grandad, so he holds no resentment. We decieded to sit next to him. K directly next to him and I, next to K. Grandad cried here and there and K gave him his hankie. The ceremony was over and K got up to look at pictures..everyone was up and about. However, I was still sitting next to grandad, when all of a sudden he let out these loud, sad, from the pit of his stomach moans, and groans and sobs. I didn't know what to do. I rubbed his back. I was cornered. I hugged him and sat by his side not knowing where to look or where to place my hands or arms. I looked behind me to try and catch k's eyes and tell him with looks to come back. Finally, mom noticed and came over. They held each other and cried together, grandad and mom. I cried and cried...not for grammy, but for grandad. 60 plus years with someone, and now they're gone. So sad...
The trip up to the cottage was nice though. They had the ceremony up at moosehead lake WAY up north in Maine, near the canadian border. They have a summer cottage they've owned since the 70's. K spent summers up there all his life until he went to college. It's SOOO beautiful up there. My goodness....it's just overwhelmingly beautiful. Unfortunately, grandad is going to sell it. Everyone is mad at him for that.....it's right on the lake....literally...We ended up taking the canoe for a little spin...OH MY GOD. i have never done that before and I have a million and one bruised to show for it. It was pretty nice though...
So that was my weekend.
My best friend is going through some BS and I'm mad and sad and want punch certain folk in the mouth. I love her so much and it's painful...
oh yeah, and I actually like my new job. I met a dude who said his name was greg something or other...like thurston howard the III, then said, "well that's my slave name, the name I gave myself is King G blah, blah, blah" I didn't hear the rest but thought the self proclaimed black dude thing was a bit cheesy, so I just said "huh? Kitty G?" and from now on, i've been calling him kitty, or kitty g. I don't think he likes that...
also, i already lost my corporate credit card...smart cookie aren't i? ugh
