Another funeral

We had to go to yet another funeral today. All day I tried to think up a reason not to go, but I knew there was no getting out of it. This time it was the funeral for a friend's father. It was somewhat a celebration of long life, considering he was 89, but the family understandibly can't see it that way. Maybe thinking that way comes from the experience with Jeff's boss dying at 48 last week.

So the funeral was actually a nice opportunity to see the friends that we spent so much time with years ago. But as things go, our lives taking care of our kids and involving ourselves in their lives took our time away from friends. This felt a little like a reunion. We did promise each other that we would get together this summer and I really will try to make that happen.

Between Jeff and I, this was our 5th funeral this year. Three months completed in the year and five funerals. It's too much. Hopefully that's it for the year.
