Saturday
The funeral. We all woke up late, which is common because it is when we would wake up in Hawaii.
This day was emotional. I think that I felt the loss more keenly because I just returned from Aunt Irene’s funeral, and Grandpa passed not too long ago. I felt such an amazing outpouring of love. I feel much more connected to my family than I have in more than a decade.
I found out that Grandmas journals, and a lot of pictures memorabilia were thrown out when her house was cleaned out. I was deeply saddened. I had to leave and regret not taking more time.
In the afternoon, we saw Gina’s mom in the hospital. She was looking good. It was nice to see her. I watched Gina and Joseph give her foot rubs, and felt the love that was shared.
We returned to Holly’s for the evening get-together. It was a busy day, and one of the most emotionally poignant I have had in years.
