Thanks again to everyone...
Today is the Funeral and I will be back to work full time sometime next week. There are still a lot of details I have to deal with Monday and Tuesday but after that I think the best thing for me is to get back to work. So, hopefully Wednesday, I will be back to my job, working.

I printed this thread off and gave it to my father and it was the first thing that made him smile in a long time. You guys are great.

Last night was the calling hours (wake) and for the first 20 minutes it was very tough on all of us. Mostly my son Seeing she was his wife, my father did much better than expected by anyone.

Thank god for the person that invented Valium.

I think Greenie is on his way here now. Since I am staying at my father's house with my Son and Father, poor Greenie gets the pleasure of staying in one of our world famous off the New York State Thruway Motels.

This whole thing has tougher than I could have ever imagined. Since my mother was told she had lung cancer, I have had to be the strong one in the family and still am. One of these days I just have to stop and cry. I never did in front of my mother and I never will in front of my son or father. But damn...I need to get drunk

you're such a dear sweet soul....
crying is completely okay - when you do - you will start
to feel better... slowly...

do what's good for you also...
take care of you too ....

hugs of support...

and greenie - you are a GOOD friend to Jim...
I'm glad he has you...
