The Funeral
As funerals go, this one was also a sad one, but there were good things. The weather was great. Although it was on the cool side, it wasn't bad at all. There were lots of tears, and lots of hugs. There were lots of memories expressed, -good memories.
The traffic didn't hinder as much as I expected it would. A military vehicle went past and the driver slowed down and almost drifted past us, making little engine noise. We appreciated the show of respect. The big trucks didn't seem as noisy this morning as I remembered them from the husband's funeral some years ago. I think many of those drivers were also considerate about their engine noise.
It was hard for the family to leave the cemetery. Now they are gathering back to the house next door and taking things out of the house. For the next few days, I'll be looking in on the cats again, until it's decided what they will do about the house.
She was a good neighbor. I have missed her already.
