Although the weather seems fitting since I have a funeral to go to. What sucks the most is that the end of last year, I endured enough funerals to last me a while. There were only 4 but they were in a 6 week period and THAT took its toll on us all.
First, was my exs (my kids dad) best friend. He was also my kids god-father. Then, 2 weeks later, a good friend of mine was killed. Her memorial service was 3 weeks to the day after the first death. About 3 weeks later kid's dad's grandma died pretty suddenly followed by her brother barely 4 days later.
It didn't really affect the kids but for me and my ex, it was exhausting. Even his girlfriend was affected by 3 of the 4 deaths.
But I think it was more exhausting was the way the first two came about. I found out about the first deat through a friend on facebook asking me if the person named in the accident was the person we knew. Even worse for me, I was living with my ex (long story by itself) and he had just gotten up and went in the bathroom. When there I asked him if the guy had a motorcycle. He said yes. And all I could say was "there was an accident last night." And then I immediately got online to check the article. I saw his middle initial and knew it was him. Which means I had to tell me ex.
Two weeks later he returned the favor when he called me one morning to ell me a really good friend of mine was killed in a car accident the evening before. It was crazy to us all because barely 5 days before that we were all laughing and sharing memories wit her at the first memorial service.
I guess today won't be so bad because instead of a close friend or family member, this death was the son of a family friend. I knew the guy because he was the son of my dads old boss. A job my dad had pretty much all my childhood until about 3 or 4 years ago. But the guy was never someone I hung out with, just someone I knew through that. But either way. He was only 28 which is terribly young.
