May the Road Rise to Meet You

Got up early for the mass and funeral. Drove out to St. Michael's (the church I went to when I went to church - the saint I was named for) and parked in the funeral precession line a few cars from the front. Mandy and her Sean (Shaun?) were there and so was Josh Martin. I hadn't seen him in awhile and it was really sweet of him to come out for this

Funerals are good for catharsis. I didn't cry until the end of my grandfather's funeral. I thought I would be OK until the choir sang the final song and the pallbearers moved the casket out.

You are much braver than I with funerals and it's good that you got to say goodbye. Having recently lost my grandparent, I know what you went through.
