Thank you all. I've come up for air now.... but sure has been a tough week, and a tougher day today. I made the right decision to not go down to the graveside in the processional. It was thunderstorming the whole drive down they said, but blue skies and white clouds once they arrived.

I needed the nap I took while waiting.

Always glitches when you're working or waiting for others, moreso with family?
I'm so glad it's over.
I doubt I will see some of the family ever again.
My oldest brother is ok... not sure I shared that he could have been on that plane that went down coming back from Brazil... but no, he's still in Iraq. Whew! But we just heard from him this morning. He rushed flowers to the graveside!!!! Wow..flowers (ordered from Iraq ) arrived within 3 hours. Gorgeous.

Mom is here with me... she rode in the limo with me and loved it! She encouraged me to get in there and take all the food that I wanted, home with me. (And not let my "big" sister intimidate me. Even though my sister hissed at me for doing so.)

Mom and I were dressed "to the nines." She taught me "it's better to be overdressed than overlooked." I'm sure many other things she taught me will come in handy.
