Ready for tomorrow

December 2nd, 2008 at 12:10 am

What a long, cold and sad day it has been. C. and I went to the calling hours. I guess people have more strength than they know. The girls parents were standing by the casket hugging, crying and talking to people as they passed by. They were playing the girls favorite songs, hip hop, pop, rock, and they had all sorts of scrapbooks and collages of her life.

C. did well. She is not one to cry in public but when she got in the car the tears came.

I didn't make supper tonight and my energy is low. I guess we will survive on cereal and ice cream tonight. Thank goodness I don't have to go to work until tomorrow. I hope my some of my energy returns by then.

I found 40 cents in the couch that I will add to my challenge money bringing the total to 68 cents. I might do a dance if I ever reach $1.

    We went through something similar when my 27-year-old daughter had a male friend who got shot and killed in a hunting accident while she was in high school. I knew the grandmother well and went with DD to the funeral. It was a rough one. Hugs to you and your daughter.

    I'm so sorry for your daughter's friend's family, your daughter and you. That must be so hard.

    I read your other post too. . . I don't think there's anything wrong with crying in front of our kids or sharing difficult times from our past. Some things in life are just. . . hard.

    I hope you feel a little better today.
