I just got back from Clover. I was a little worried that maybe Tom didn't want to see so many of us after such an awful week. It was just the opposite though, and I'm really happy we could be there. I was so upset after talking to him on the phone and hearing him so torn up.. I just wanted to hug him. It made a big difference to be there in person.
I wish I could have met his dad.. He had a lot of friends and they all have a million funny stories to share about him. I really enjoyed being part of a wake.. I'd like it to be that way when I die.. just a bunch of friends coming together and having a good time and honoring your memory. It's a much better way to deal with a loss.

Now we're back. I had jury duty this morning but I didn't have to serve.. They let me go after about two hours.. I was super happy about that. I really didn't want to miss out on the second week of school..I'm learning so much by being there.
