Funeral Time
So I'm going against my father-in-law's final wishes, and burying him here, next to his son, instead of 5 hours away in upstate New York. There are many reasons I'm doing this, and I don't really feel like posting them right now. Maybe later.
The past few days have sucked. Jay (my father-in-law) left me quite a mess to take care of. I am physically, and mentally exhausted.
And now, I get to go stand in below 0 temperatures as we have a graveside funeral for Joe's dad. And then, his whole family will be buried. And I will attempt to move on.

I am thinking of you all day today..N
UGh... I'm so sorry you have all of this on your shoulders. Hopefully it will all get figured out quickly and you can get a break. Thinking about you!
oh, B, I am so sorry!
But not the whole family is gone, there is J&J too.
Oh, baby girl. So, so sorry.
I'm so sorry that you are dealing with all of this. And good for you for making your own decision and burying him next to Joe. Was the funeral today? Sooo cold out.
B, I think you're doing the right thing. You are doing the best you can and then some. I'm so so sorry you are having to deal with this mess. Please know that I'm thinking of you and the boys.
Love you...
*sigh*
Sorry, b. Hang in there.
I'm sorry. (((hugs)))
Firstly that first commenter: Piss off. I'm sure B has much more on her mind than visiting your blog because FireFox has been updated you heartless bastard.
Secondly that is such a harsh thing B. I'm catching up on my blog reading on account of being so busy with work I haven't had a chance to lately. Reading the post about all of Joe's things and then this one. It seems little by little you're losing things attached to him. That is seriously rough. Hang in there.
Of course, depending on how you look at it, it could also be a good thing. T is sounding more awesome with pretty much every post you write about him so maybe by losing a little more of Joe you gain a whole lot more of T. That has to be good.
I wish I knew what to say B, but I don't.
For what it's worth, it seems 'right' to me that Joe's dad will be buried beside him.
My Mum has lots of stipulations about what will happen with material things after she is dead. My siblings and I don't bother disagreeing with her, but once she's dead, well, suffice to say not all of her onerous stipulations will be adhered to and I for one don't intend to feel any guilt. The things that have burdened her in her life will not become our burdens.

I think you made the right choice. He should be next to his son. I'm so sorry for your loss.
