Final funeral home day for preparation was today. It's really a beautiful home...my brother said it reminded him of the movie My Girl. Oddly enough one of the girls that my parents went to high school and graduated with grew up in the house, not much different than the movie. Though she pointed out there was no crazy grandma. She no longer lives there, but her family still owns the business and because of the holiday she was there today. I'm sure my dad liked that. We're spending time sifting through Dad's life through boxes and pictures. My parents and their parents did an amazing job of saving and preserving things. There are priceless tangible items from my parents' lives and memories saved. I thought it would be nice to have these things there on Saturday. I'd really like it to be a celebration of him and his life here -a total emersion of my dad.
I am thankful for all that I have and carry with me.
