wolfsbrideSo today I went to the funeral/memorial of my mom's friend. I'm really glad I decided to go. I cried during the funeral part when they read the eulogy because they talked about her life and what she meant to people and I was remembering all the things she'd done for me.
At the reception afterward I met up with nearly all the people that used to hang out at her house while I sort of grew up there. It was like having a weird flashback. Seeing them in this big group, laughing and talking like they did thirty years ago. Of course they're all older now so it was very odd, very strange. The past superimposed over the present. It was comfortable though. Like picking up an old conversation. I caught up on all their lives; most are married now with kids of their own, seeming to be doing very well for themselves.
So while I'm still sad; I feel pretty good too.
