UPDATE BLOG POST:
Okay, so now it’s Wednesday morning and I wanted to add more than what I did last night. First, I want to thank everyone who either commented here, sent me e-mail or twittered me during the weekend about attending the funeral of a long time family friend on Saturday. Mrs. Bradley was one of my mom’s best friends and our families have been friends with one another since 1977. It’s always very sad when someone passes away but Mrs. Bradley’s passing was much harder on my mom as she had the closest relationship with her. So I decided to travel with her (and my dad) and support her in any way I could as I would hope someone would do the same for me if the situation was reversed.
We left Northern Virginia Friday morning at 8:30am with the goal of reaching Atlanta’s airport by 7:30pm in order to pick up my brother. Leave it to my dad – an ex-truck driver and current tour bus driver – to time the arrival just about right. We ended up actually being a little early to the airport. Once my brother got there (he was flying in from Nevada), the rest of the trip was, in a very, very odd way, enjoyable. Although Mrs. Bradley’s passing away was sad, she was such a likable person that most of Saturday was spent remembering all the good times we all shared when both families lived in Nevada all those long years ago. And it was great seeing her two sons, Todd and Joel, as well as catching up with my brother.
It’s just sad that a funeral has to be a place that is much more inclined to bring people together. For some reason, marriages and other occasions don’t seem to make people commit to attend like a funeral does. For example, if this was a wedding, I’m not so sure if I would have been willing to commit to spending, literally, 24 hours in a car traveling along multiple states along the east coast. But because this was a funeral, I had no hesitation. Odd, isn’t it?
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks.
I also wanted to mention that if all goes well on Friday night, I’m HOPING that next week, you will see something REALLY different here on Monday. I don’t want to say much more than that since so much is dependent on what happens this weekend. So… stay tuned folks. 🙂
