Wednesday

Today was Amy's funeral. That was so hard. And sad. She was 7 months younger than me. Her husband is my friend and their kids are roughly the same age as mine. I cannot even begin to imagine what that family is going through, or what they are feeling. Just being there is all I can do for them.

The rabbi was excellent. There really isn't a damn thing he or any of us can say or do that will make this easier or better, for the family or for us....but he did good. His words were kind, they came easy, he didn't just read stuff out of some old book. They were a reminder of things we don't think about often enough. Or sadly only when it's too late.

This was a long sad day.
