Clear DayHi everyone what a week it's been. So sad. I keep trying to come to grips with it all but some how it eludes me. I know this will sound absolutely crazy but the wake and funeral for Josh was incredible. There was such a wonderful response from the community....at least 700 people come through for the wake on Sunday. So many young kids...but that really isn't a suprise because for our friends their house has always been open to everyone. Jeremy, Josh's Twin sat by the casket for 4 hours without leaving his side. It was the best thing he could have ever done. When he did leave his side he was able to be with his friends and even was able to smile some. I held up Pam (josh's mom) as much as I could. By the end of the evening she was barely able to stand. She said that she would think she couldn't make it any longer and when we took her down to regroup she would come back up and then make it through another 100 people. She said all those people were a wonderful tribute to Josh. After the wake we went back to the house with them and I tucked her in bed and My husband and I sat a talked to Tim (the dad) for awhile.....he was a rock the whole time. On saturday he rented out the local bowling alley for everyone so they had a place to go and be together...it was perfect for all the kids and it helped Tim and Pam out a lot. Monday was the hardest of course. The church they had asked to do the service (where the boys were baptized) refused to do the service because they were not active members.........errrrrrr that ticked me off. The normal minister, and the one who had baptized the boys, was out of the country so the board voted on it and said no. Anyway they had the service at the funeral home. Standing room only....for my husband it was when reality hit and he broke down. Another friend of the families read some poetry after the minister spoke that was very touching. She had lost her daughter to cancer this past August and someone had read them at her funeral. Then one of Josh's classmates read from his Journal...we were all able to laugh and cry and the same time. Someone from the school, I believe it was the principal, read some of the letters from the kids at school....they were beautiful. Then Josh's oldest brother, Timmy, got up and spoke about him and some of the things they would do together....he did a wonderful job. When he started to lose it his sisters Lindsay and Angela came up by him and he went on. Then Lindsay spoke also. The strength in those children was amazing. The procession to the cemetery was at least 100 cars long.....and oh was it so cold out. Only about 8 degrees. But that didn't even matter. A resturant in this small community donated there facilities and food for a luncheon afterwards...which I thought to be very generous...especially with so many people. One of the family members took up a collection though to try and off set the cost at least somewhat....After that things broke down in the family a bit....it had been a very long day and the two families don't get along well and have different ways of greiving....so My husband and I took Pam home and she asked if we could bring the girls over (my kids) so I stayed with Pam while he went and picked up the kids. He dropped off the girls and then went to be with Tim. I tucked Pam in bed again....and prayed she would get a good nights sleep. For the third night we got home about 1 am...we let the girls stay home from school on tuesday. (the girls weren't with us the other times) If there is one thing I will never forget it is the sound of Pam's cry....it's all been just a bad dream. There is a whole lot more to all of this but I have written enough for right now. Thanks you so much for your prayers ....Pam said to me that that is what helped hold her up through all of this. Thank you for listening to all of this to...I just need to get it all out and it seems there is even more to get out but it's stuck somewhere right now. Love and Hugs Lori Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt. And dance like no one is watching. begin 666 endo@obgyn.net.vcf M0D5'24XZ5D-!4D0-"E9%4E-)3TXZ,BXQ#0I..CME;F1O0&]B9WEN+FYE= T* M1DXZ96YD;T!O8F=Y;BYN970-"D5-04E,.U!2148[24Y415).150Z96YD;T!O K8F=Y;BYN970-"E)%5CHR,# P,#$S,50P-3(Y,S):#0I%3D0Z5D-!4D0-"@`` ` end
