Funeral

Today is the funeral.  After much thought, I've decided to spend only one hour there for the wake and the service follows.  He's being cremated so there is no need to go to the gravesite.  Thank God.  My parents had it right.  They believe that the body should be cremated and nothing more.  It's torture to go through the service.  I've actually told all my friends and relatives don't come if it requires taking time off work or any other inconvience.  I told them I will need them in the days and months to come, not just on the day of the service.
 
My husband is already gone.  He's laughing and talking in heaven.  He's with God.  All this funeral services are not needed.
 
My goal for today is to remember God's word regarding everlasting life and not to spend the day crying.  So far so good.
