Day 236 - Smiling Through My Tears

[wolfsbride]

I just got home from my friend's memorial service. I have to say I really like this shift from the dark gloomy diatribes of the old days to this new method. The memorial was all about remembering all the different things that made her special to each of us. Her brother talked about her childhood and her early life and about her husband and family. Some one else spoke about their first meeting and what impression she made on them. She had excerpts from many other people giving their perspectives as well. Then the chorus that had been a big part of her life, the Sweet Adelines, sang some of her favourite songs.

As mentioned before, I cried a lot on Sunday and I was sure that I didn't have any more tears left in me. Hah hah. But it was a beautiful service and even though my head aches from crying and I'll miss her horribly, I feel pretty good.
