Dad has been Laid to Rest
5 months ago
Hello everybody.
After a small viewing of just mom, my aunt, and myself and an only slightly larger burial service my father was laid to rest around 11:14 on April 1st 2025 at a wet and windy little cemetery next to grandma and grandpa’s graves.
After 5 hours driving mom and I are back home now.
As for how I feel… numb.
I couldn’t actually go into the room during the viewing. The one time I tried I saw him laying in the casket looking asleep like so many times I had to wake him up to take his medicine or do his work or for a thousand other reasons and I started blubbering… and I still had to drive out to the burial and drive home so couldn’t afford to break down there.
Still can’t afford to break down since I have a thousand and one things he left I still need to try to tend to…
But anyway wanted to give an update.
Thank you for reading and take care.

Keeping busy may actually good during this time. It gives your mind something to focus upon and a sense of purpose. Either way, one of the hardest parts of this process is now over. Hope you continue to find the strength to forge ahead Dude. Take each day one step at a time, and I hope the coming warm Spring weather and flowers provide you with comfort. 🌺
