Funerals

As funerals go this one was very nice. The flowers were amazing and Joel and Tim spoke and that was touching, but my Richard was the best. He had us laughing and crying and everyone was loving his stories. This was very difficult for him because he is emotional, but he got through it. After the service we had a brief service at the cemetery and the VFW did their thing and presented us with the flag. We brought it home, but aren't sure what to do with it. I would like to fly it, but don't want to get a big flagpole. It was nice being with family and reminiscing. We have a lot to do at some future point, but for now Gina will deal with the necessary things and then we'll all get together to empty the house...probably in the spring. Today I have tons of stuff to do and need to get with that. Richard is off to deal with the water bed. later....
