I went to a Celebration of Life yesterday. It wasn't for a life-long friend, it was a guy I barely met like 2-3 months ago, at the bar. I admit, he got me when I was ... tipsy... and late at night, asking me to go to this CoL for his mother, which was a few weeks out at that point. Sure! I'll be there for support!
Well, yesterday was that day. I stood on my word, and I went. Truly, it was a nice service. I admit, I teared up a bit. I also got to thinking about, not what if, but when, for my parents, let alone my Wife and I....
Hence, an all-nighter, with no sleep. It was going to be an early morning, as Youngest wanted to do the flag-planting on Veteran markers at the cemetery, but late last night he backed out. So gimpy Dad is going to try to do some still. Imagine the fat guy, walking with a cane, a piece of rebar (to make the hole) and a bundle of flags under his arm, to drop one in each place. Yeah. Gonna be fun....
Later today I got an 80th bday party to go to as well. already got the card for him. Still need to get the graduation congrats card for the step-nephew (and the money to put into it) for Sunday.
I wonder... if I called RM now, would she come help with the flag thing?
