Yesterday


It was a tough day.

My mother and father were officially laid to rest.

I've had a lot of moments over the course of my lifetime where I've felt a sense of finality....

But nothing quite measures to the overwhelming feeling that you succumb to when you see a casket being lowered into a grave.

Thankfully I was not alone, the Brother-In-Law was actually present as well for the lowering of the casket, he cried like a baby. In a strange way, it felt good to know someone out there was able to feel this much emotion for him.

I wanted to....

"He went eight years without yer ma."

Sobs

"I don't know what it was about her, but he sure did love her."

More sobs

Truth be told, I kind of felt a little jealous and immediately felt guilty.... The likelihood of me ever finding someone who loved me that much is minimal.

It would be nice to know the feeling, though.

Happy Thursday!

    It's hard to sort through muddled and conflicted feelings.
    The finality of it makes you think about your own mortality, and ask yourself if you've done what you planned in life, etc. At least it does for me.
I've been thinking about a lot of things..... And asking myself a lot of questions. It has forced me to see things through a new set of eyes and re-evaluate. I want my life and my experiences to be something I want to look back on and remember.

    Maybe something good will come out of it now that you have met the family members for the first time?

Something good did come out of it... I got the opportunity to see my brother again for the first time since my mom died.

    That would be a tough day. A funeral makes it so very final...like you're forced to admit that person is gone and nothing you can do will change it.
    And I think we could all use that kind of love.
They weren't in my life even when they were alive.... They've missed out on a lot of special moments. Neither of them had ever met Boot Camp Boy or the Spawn. I think I mourn more for a relationship that never was.

Thank you... I needed that. You're right, I do need to get out and be myself, I have kind of cut myself off from the rest of the world. I've just felt so disappointed in a lot of things....

Positive - I got to meet family members from my dad's side of the family for the first time.

My mom was cremated and he'd kept her ashes with him until he died. The two were laid to rest together....
