Well my grandfather's funeral was on Saturday. I was so upset. That women couldn't even wait to cremate him until after the service. I felt like I didn't get to say goodbye. There was just his box. My family and I put together some pictures and an apple tree to his service. I decieded to get the apple trees instead of flowers because flowers just die and plus with the apple trees that we planted will remind us of him. When we were little we used to go apple picking with him and also made homemade apple cider. That was the best. We went there and we felt so out of place. No one still got the picture. My son had a hard time at the service. So I put all my attention on him. And yes I went home drank and cried.

   I guess there was something afterwards at my uncle house where my grandfather used to live. But I couldn't go there and be around those people. This really tore my family up. Yes it is a shame but I guess it happens. Or maybe not. I don't know.

   But now that he is laid to rest and I know that he is not up there at that nursing home suffering anymore; hopefully it gets easier.  

   Well I have to go now. Hopefully this work week will go fast. Thank you all very much for your support. I needed it bad. THANK YOU!!!!
