At the Funeral Home........the kids did really well. I will admit, I really broke down walking in there and seeing dad for the first time in the coffin. I had to turn around. It was too much that first time. I couldn't look at him like that. It was just so WRONG. I really started to almost hyperventilate and couldn't keep from crying. Just thinking about it now is SO hard.....as the tears are flowing down my cheeks. Even now, it's just WRONG to think of him gone. Some days I swear that he'll be there, sitting by the kitchen counter with the t.v. on but muted while he's reading the paper. I can't believe it's already been 3 months when at times it seems like it just happened or else feels like it's been years since some of it occurred.
Mom set up a couple of tables with a lot of Dad's pictures, awards and some of his favorite things. It was really nice to pay tribute to him in that way. We had to keep rearranging things because there was so much that we wanted to share, it was to hard to really pick and choose.
Here's most of the family watching the dvd we put together. We had it running in the room for everyone to watch as they came through. It was really nice and I'm glad that we got to share it with so many of our friends and family.
It was such a beautiful day! The service was amazing. Those who participated in it did an amazing job paying their respects and honoring my dad. I'm so grateful to those who helped. The day couldn't have gone any better, considering.
My beautiful Grandma!
Me and my Mom....I love her SO much!
