• So, what do you write about after you come home from a funeral?  Hell if I know but nothing seems very significant right now.  The DH and I are still sitting around saying things like, "I just can't believe he's gone."  and "The kids won't ever really know him." 

  
  

  Watching the first season of Six Feet Under didn't help The DH.  He said that he kept thinking about where the body was and what all was done to it, and where it was going, etc..etc...

  
  

  The services were nice and all of FIL's JROTC kids were some great kids....FIL was one loved man...I do have some interesting stories about some 'coincidences' as The DH calls them.  I call them, his father looking out for him...but he doesn't see it that way...silly man.

  
  

  Well, I'm not sure what to do right now so I'll just blog lightly for the next few days.  Honestly, I just want the post on July 5 to go to the next page...it hurts to see it right now, but I don't want to delete it...it is part of my life.

  
  

  By the way, FIL passed on July 4th...what a fitting day for a man who loved his country and his military (he wasn't too thrilled with his government, but hey...who really is? ).  He went out with a HUGE bang heard around the country.  He deserved it.

  
  

  Also, on July 4th The DH had a co-worker's sister-in-law pass.  FIL and the co-worker's SIL both had the same type brain tumor and they were diagnosed around the same time...FIL is helping his fellow cancer-mate, wherever they are.  Gawd, the people he helped...man oh man....you wouldn't believe the 16, 17 year old boys that were boo-hooing at the service.  It was awesome.

  
  

  I'm out of here for now, but will be back tomorrow!
