So, I went to the wake today, and things were... Weird, to say the least. It was hard seeing a bunch of old friends there and watching everyone file in and out of the funeral home in tears. Travis and Casey had me going for awhile, and I had to move away from the sadness to smoke it away with a cigarette.
Lex had me going, too, when he came out. Lex has always been a really upbeat kind of guy with the sort of appearance of a titan; he's tall, almost looming in his height, and while he's not buff, his bit of muscle mass keeps him from being lanky. A very sturdy-looking guy. I lost it more than I probably should have when he came out, practically sobbing and begging for a smoke. All I could do was just turn into Liz and just bawl.
It was hard, but I said my peace to James. He looked so peaceful in his casket; like he was asleep. It was so surreal, like he would just pop up at any moment and go "Just kiddin', Guys! Let's go have a drink! :D" or something to that effect.
Needless to say, I could only stand at the casket for a few moments before hurrying out of the funeral home to get away. I couldn't look at him anymore, and I couldn't bear seeing Becky sobbing into the shoulder of the nearest family member. I gave her a hug before I went to the casket, but I couldn't muster a single word to her in consolation.
Either way, I said my peace to James and thanked him for making his mark in this world. I know he's up there watching over Becky, Lyric, James Cureton Jr, and Travis from Heaven. I'm thankful for the fact that he was there to make his mark on their lives and I know that he had an important part in God's ultimate plan.
Thank you, James, for giving me the opportunity to have met you, even if I didn't get the chance to get to know you better.
