The turn out at the funeral home was much stronger then I anticipated. People I haven't seen in a long time; friends, family. There was a part of me that wished I had brought my camera, as I will probably not see these people gain in a very long time. It's funny how you only have these reunions at weddings and funerals.
I was especially surprised at the people from my place of work who stopped by. It's not some thing that I thought would happen. You know, work is work, that sort of thing. I rarely socialize with these people so their support was very appreciated.
Just like at weddings, a lot of touching goes on at funerals. So many people touched me, so many people hugged me. I felt a little creeped out by it. And I know everybody means well but when they come up to you and tell you how terrible and blah blah blah, the water works begin anew, just as you were starting to feel OK.
In anticipation of seeing all these people and being on display so to speak, I had my hair dyed and my eyebrows waxed. I wore more make up then I usually do. I tried to look neat and well groomed. Perhaps it sounds vain but I just didn't want to look like a schlep.
When my friend Bryan showed up he bent down and held me for what seemed like a full minute. Locked in his arms I felt cared for, I felt the support of friends and family enveloping me. I just needed him to whisper in my ear those 3 words that at a time like this would make me feel so much better: "You look HOTT." Oh, I mean: "I'm so sorry."
