The Funeral Was Interesting...
So the funeral last week was really interesting. There were a lot of Native American Indian portions, I wish I had written this up earlier (or taken notes) since I don't really recall many specifics. There were bits of singing and chanting and dancing and talking about the Indian ways. There were a lot of people speaking about him too, most funerals in my family no one ever speaks (other than reading a few verses) so I liked that part a lot. It went about two hours, and it certainly didn't feel that long.
There were tons of people there, lots of family, friends and coworkers the place was jammed and they had to keep adding more and more chairs. It's always nice to see that a lot of people show up for a funeral, but this was just huge. Of course, there was all the obvious sadness and all that goes with it, but I'm not going to get into those specifics here...
