Funeral

Obituary

The funeral was today. It was very, very surreal. Rich was the first person in my peer group to really die, aside from Dawn's high school boyfriend who I didn't know well. I had said to Steven before we left that the whole thing was just fucked up; we should be making plans for coffee, not going to see him buried. When I was fishing through my closet for my default funeral dress, I found it hanging right next to the dress I wore to their wedding 3 years ago.

We're going back to see her in a little bit, after I ice down my knee. It's about the size of my head right now and I can still see shoe imprints on my foot. I shall be enjoying zoris for the rest of the week now. School will get over it and it's MCAS week next week, anyway.

Well, tomorrow is a new day, right?

God, I know. This was a wholly different experience from going to funerals of my elderly relatives. I still can't get my mind around it, at all.

Your icon made me smile, btw.

Gah so young...he's my age. :( Did they determine if it was a heart attack or something else?

Scary, isn't it? He was my husband's age, too. I had always had in my head that he was a older than Steven because Beth is two years older than him, but I guess not.

I'm not sure; Beth didn't know last time I talked to her about it. He'd had his gall bladder out about a month before, but it wasn't like a long illness or anything.
