Today was the day...
Well today was the funeral. I didn't think I'd be so sad. But I was. My father did a very good job preaching the funeral. He brought a bit of humor into it. But the thing that broke me was seeing my grandmother cry. She doesn't cry or get emotional easily so it's really sad to see her cry. I feel bad for her, loosing her brother. They we're very close. And when I saw Uncle Denis at the funeral I felt a pang of guilt wishing it was his funeral instead.
When we went to the grave site it was about 100 degrees outside, no understatement. Since my uncle served in the military and was a Vietnam veteran there were military personnel present. They played the taps and removed the American flag from his casket, they folded it in a very orderly fashion and then they presented it to my Aunt Sonia, she was Uncle Sonny's wife. I nearly cried when the officer stood up and slowly saluted my Aunt Sonia.
The rest of the day I've been all emotional and crying whenever someone says anything remotely harsh or aggravating to me. But by the morning it will all be over... I hope.
Anyway after the funeral we went to eat at my Aunt Joy's house and ate. It was the first time in 12 years that all of my Great Grandmother's surviving children were in the same house together eating at the same time. My Grandmother Sue, my Aunt Nancy, my Aunt Ruby, My Aunt Joy and my Uncle Denis.
It's a shame it took my Uncle Sonny dying for them to come together again... a real shame.
Well, Mother is going to a conference tonight and tomorrow. After the funeral and eating we took her to a hotel where she met with some of our friends for a women's ministry thing. I hope she has fun, I miss her already.
