Today and yesterday have been emotionally rough days. Yesterday it was rough to see my grandfather in the casket...although he did look peaceful, and all I could think about is him being with his wife again. Looking back on his pictures from the past, he was such a handsome man with a sly yet shy grin. I see where my mom gets her grin from, and hearing the stories about raising my mom and her brothers....and making the simple things the most fun. Reminded me of my mother as well, and also where I get the " enjoying the little things in life" part of me from.
Today was rogher, I've never been one to cry at funerals but today had the best of me. I couldn't keep it together no matter how much jaw clenching there was. But looking at the casket, and knowing there would be no more physical love from my grandparents was tough. No more sly grins, loving looks, or warm pop tarts. Ok there can be warm pop tarts, but you know its just not the same. It was also quite an odd feeling to bury someon on their birthday.
P.S. - My truck decided to break down the day before the funeral. Suck....luckily my brother was riding with me so we were able to push it off the road. $350 later Thunder is back at it...so....hopefully the problem was fixed.
