I'll have lots more time to uncover more drama. My dad's funeral won't happen until after Christmas. He's getting creamated. Because he's a former Marine, he's being buried at Fort Rosecranes (we are very happy about this, Rosecrans is getting so full, they opened Miramar plots, not as nice), along with my brother that passed two years ago (long back story), they tell us the dual funeral will take longer; I'm just happy my brother will finally get a proper burial and he'll be along side my dad.

Thanks guys.
I just received a comment from my sister's old boyfriend and it's kind of funny---he wrote that he had a Boston t-shirt on when he met my dad the first time. My dad was from Boston and immediately took a liking to him. He didn't have the heart to tell him that Boston referred to the rock group and not the city. LOL
WestCoastGirl- I hope you can find comfort in all the stories people are going to tell you in the coming days about your dad. You are going to learn some new ones I bet. I know I did.

That is funny RSS! Yup I'm learning stuff about my family I didn't know because of dad's death; mostly about what went down between my sister, her husband, and my mom. That is a long story, but my mom actually spoke to this sister after 10 years because she called her when dad died. Baby steps, but I think they are working things out.

So sorry. I understand. I just lost my dad last week. We had a beautiful mass that celebrated his life. I cherish the good memories and buried any bad. When I got in my van after the funeral luncheon, my husband turned on the radio and Only God Knows Why was on. I took it as a sign. Life can sometimes be hard but I have learned the past few years that you have to truly be present during the good times (I guess I am a late bloomer so I figured that out later than most). Anyway, I wish you the best WCG and hope you find comfort. God bless.
