Funeral Services
Steve & I flew back yesterday. To be honest, most of the weekend was quite nice because we were with my family. Everyday, we spent time laughing & talking about old memories. As you can imagine, the services on Monday were a different story. It was a long day that completely drained our energy. There were so many people and all the crying wore us out. Plus, we were all involved in the services. I expected to be a spectator, but my dad's wife wanted us to be part of it. She had me in the program as saying the opening prayer. We all did something - give a prayer, read a poem, or speak. I guess the fact that it was all so personalized made it an interesting/heartfelt funeral. Everyone had positive comments & hugs at the end. There were lots of people there from his family, church, and work. I would guess about 200 showed up. Only close friends & family went to the cemetery though. He is in the veterans' cemetery. The flag ceremony and music played on the bugle were a nice touch. All in all, I am really glad we went & got to spend time with everyone. I am really tired though.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
