The kids are also grieving. Alex, our middling son, is being all 'strong for mom'. I fear that it will ultimately be to his detriment. His girlfriend says he's not cried, yet.
Our oldest is grieving hard. He wears his feelings on his sleeve, and I suspect tomorrow will be very hard.
Our youngest son - who has chosen a path apart from the family - is holding up well so far. He is dealing with regret, and I pray he finds his balance when all is said and done.
Anne-Marie - I see her every day so I have a better idea of how she is doing. She is one, tough cookie. She worries about not constantly being in tears. She is young (at 14) and has no real experience with loss, so I understand where the questions come from. She can do this. She is a little angry - but with support, and some well-place suggestions, she is readily guided towards diplomacy and grace. I am very proud of her.

that's a great video and in the years to come, it'll be nice to go back and watch and remember and enjoy the memories it'll bring. My thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow! =^..^=

Thank you for sharing. Over the years I've been reading you, there were not many pictures. I feel I know you and your family a little bit better.

A wonderful tribute. I had the same song played at my husband's services. It says it all. You and your family continue to be in my prayers. God Bless
