a fond farewell

After 41 years of marriage a woman suddenly gets diagnosed with cancer and dies 3 months later, leaving behind eight grand children, three children, and a very lonely husband. The hall was packed and tears were shed.

The pastor... don't know if it was just me... seemed somewhat bored with the proceedings but this was all taken in stride. Nobody was there for the pastor.

The most amazing thing is it was the women who were better able to holding together. The men cried like babies ... so did I, though not a guy.
