The funeral was nice and more that 250 people showed up. I have been tearing up occasionally ever since.
We are in the process of sorting out Dad's stuff. I claimed his Knights of Columbus regalia and his Air Force uniform. By some miracle, his dress shoes fit me. It is really weird to think that I literally can step into his shoes.
We will be shipping my share of Dad's stuff tomorrow via UPS Ground. I will be taking two fly fishing rods and three reels. I fully intend to go fly fishing with
auntiematter this summer. My youngest sister is having a very hard time and I wish I could do more for her.
I spent last night at Mom's visiting with my dad's brothers. I had not seen any of them since my grandmother's funeral in 2004. It turns out that Uncle Bob is a Dr. Who fan. I really need to visit all of them more often.
