Have good sleep, Teppy.
Our family took lots of pictures at my Dad's funeral. I took a lot of them, myself.
Everyone grieves in their own manner.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Whatever that man wanted, if it was within my power, I was going to do for him.
And that's what makes you family. I'm glad they have you, and you them, especially right now.

You're a gem, Steph. It sounds like a wonderful day (wonderful considering the circumstances, of course).
Your fawn sounds like my bees.

I guess I've always thought of funerals as something sacred -- or maybe I mean solemn -- that "everyday" events shouldn't impinge upon. But I've never really examined that belief, just kind of gone along with it. As I think about it, there's no reason not to take pictures at a funeral; it's just not commonplace. (As far as I know.)

Oh, now I'm all verklemmt. More so than a little while ago, even.

I was even going to explain about the bees, and then I realized it would involve first explaining to Tim's family about the invisible people, and how, no, really, they are MAH PEOPLE who I would do anything for, and not axe-murdering scam artists. And so they might not even understand that, not being well-versed in the realm of invisible non-axe-murdering people.
And beyond that, it would have involved explaining your own experience, which is not mine to tell, so I just thought of your bees and smiled.

It's so difficult to explain the buffistas to others sometimes. I usually just say, "A friend of mine..."

I am tempted to commit emoticon. I will be strong. But I am smiling.

Our wings are not tired.
The smile is contagious with understanding.
I'm glad that the funeral went as well as it could. May you and yours be able to get some peaceful rest tonight.
