long day of sadness and light.

funeral.  sad.  funny.  yes, funny.  sergio was a prankster and a comedian, and many ppl shared stories about him, some of which included hilarity!  the service was beautiful, LOTS of tears.  i'm so glad i had a hankie in my purse, because i hadn't brought any tissues or picked any up in the lobby!  the home was packed, standing room only, and filled with love.  you could literally feel the love.  it was like a hug.  


we went to the graveside service as well, and God provided a wonderfully cooling breeze!  the site is perfectly situated near trees & is right by the path.  and possibly near dad's plot.  we had planned to go to the luncheon, but weren't sure what time it was going to start - there were a lot of ppl who accompanied to the grave.  again, the amount of love was just evident.  


when i got back to work, i felt disconnected and achey - likely from all the crying!  and also the being tense issue, because i had to hold myself tightly together to not completely become a quivering mass.  which, i know it's a funeral and there's nothing wrong w/ being a quivering mass of sadness as such.  i just had been crying so much that i didn't want to cry anymore.  my sinuses weren't happy, either!  


i made it to five & then headed to the bank, the bucks, and mom's.  she & i & the boys went to golden corrals and my mood lifted tremendously.  it was so nice to get to hang out w/ the boys!  anthony is a year younger than sergio, and i just kept wanting to hug him.  i refrained, most of the night, but i did take lots of pictures!  

i hung out w/ them at home for an hour or so - thru hair washing & bath time!!  : )  i got home about 10 & uploaded some pictures to fb.  oh, i also checked my mail & had a nifty postcard from china:

take care!  i have GOT TO SLEEP!  : )  i'll have to write more about dinner tomorrow.  or, share more pictures.  there are some CUUUTE ones for sure!  : )  


ttfn.  much love!
