3 miles on the mill.
Last night I went to a funeral home to visit the family of a guy I graduated from high school with. Actually, he took me out on a date on my 18th birthday -- just one date. It was a year of MANY "dates" -- that's a WHOLE other post! Anyway, he died of a massive heart attack at his job on Monday. He had 3 kids, and It was a really sad situation. It's quite scary when people your age start dying, even though I don't feel that old.
I have been to more funerals this year than any other year in my life and it's ONLY April!
I saw a lot of people there that I haven't seen since high school, and was surprised at how old many of them looked. Fortunately, I was able to remember most of their names. However, there were some that I did not recognize -- they recognized me and introduced themselves. I wondered how many more there were that I did not recognize that did not introduce themselves. One in particular I was QUITE EMBARRASSED that I did not recognize -- she was in my wedding :~O The bad thing is, I saw her just a few years ago.
The funeral is today at 11:00 a.m. I have not yet decided if I will go. I feel like I should, but really don't want to. This is when "adult decisions" kick in -- doing things you know you should even though you don't want to. Humm.... I AM an adult now.
