Thank you for all the support before my family member's memorial. It was hard but it was exactly what he would have wanted. It was his favorite kind of day: bright sun and blazing hot. There were as many laughs as tears I think. A good number of people showed up and I'm sure more would have if it hadn't been so hot and if it hadn't been 5 months since his death. I've been really tired since which I expected but I also feel more peace. His house closed today so things are almost completely done. It was weird to be in his house one last time the day of the service to take shower and change from set-up clothes to service clothes.

I'm not sure what happens now. First I get past the emotional exhaustion from the service. Then I don't really know.
