The Viewing
We went to "The Viewing" this afternoon. Alena's body was beautifully displayed, but death is death, and it was painful to see her thus. Her mother and the rest of the family here were doing their best to deal with the grief, each in their own way, just as we were.
I have done this too many times and it never gets easier.
Julia was comforting others and blessed us all. We stayed for over an hour then returned to our motel. I was spent... I think we all were.
Tomorrow is the funeral and we will be heading down to Birmingham afterward to pick up our neice Pam and take her back to my brother's apartment where they will stay until the 15th. We will go on home. I won't have internet access until we get there.
For now, I am drained and dried out.
