    thanks jeanie. we just found out when the funeral will be, so we'll be going next wednesday. there is also going to be a viewing but i can't do that. i went to one for a friend's sister when she passed and that image was burned in my brain, i'd rather remember him as he was in life, really full of life.

    my boss just started a memorial fellowship fund in his honor which i think is a beautiful idea, it's something he would have loved.

    Oh that's good chiq. I mean knowing when the funeral will be.
    Viewing is such a personal choice, if you're not comfortable then don't do it. I think you're wise to know that. It can make things so much worse. It's a funny thing, I've viewed some loved ones and it's been an awful thing and I wished I hadn't and there have been other times when it's been very cathartic and helped me immensly. And then there have been people, my Gran in particular where there just wasn't time and I missed out, and I'm kinda sad I did but it's done now and I can't change it, so I just have to live with it. I think you just have to be guided by how you're feeling at the time.

    The memorial in his honor sounds fabulous. I'm so glad that your boss has done that. It's such a positive way to honor him. And it gives you all a positive focus to channel all your love and affection and respect for the man into. :)
    NOPE!!!

    I'm sorry to hear about that. You never know what could happen..that's why I don't understand why people waste time being petty and awful to eachother....I remember one of my good friends getting killed in a car accident a few years after we graduated highschool.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
