I went to a funeral of a woman that I didn’t even know back in the last part of Thanksgiving, for the family.  I don’t know the family that well, but that has never stopped me before.  I know, in passing, 3 of the 5 kids, and the woman’s husband, and found out that some other people from the church are relatives too.  I figured that, just because I didn’t know the family that well at that point, they might take some comfort in knowing that it’s not just their closest friends that “care”.  Does that make sense?

Don’t ask me why I’m writing this.  I really have NO idea, other than that fact that funerals have been in the forefront of my thoughts this week, as we had a death in the family just after Christmas and her Memorial service was supposed to have been yesterday.  I’ve been wondering if we should have been there, but it was in another state, and would have taken $300 or $400 if we had driven probably.  Of course, with it being right after Christmas, money is a little tighter than normal.  And there are other reasons we didn’t go that I won’t list here tonight.  All in all, I guess the easiest way to put it is that it just didn’t work…us going, that is.

Then I found out yesterday from some ladies at the church that one of the older men from the church died the night before.  He was related to some of the people that were related to the woman that died back in November.  Again, this is a man that I didn’t know at all, except in passing.  I can’t even say that I have even ever talked to him.  But I know the family, so yes, I will be at the funeral tomorrow, just for moral support, if NOTHING else.

Mood is kind of off tonight.  Maybe it’s got something to do with knowing that the memorial service for our family member was yesterday, and not being sure if we did the right thing by not going?  Maybe it’s just because it’s been a long day?  A long week?  Who knows?  Maybe it’s because the weather today was nice, and the wind kicked up several hours ago, and now it’s turning colder again?  Yep, that sounds like the closest reason….colder weather…colder mood.  Sound logical?

Here’s hoping my mood lightens some with the dawning of a new day!!!  And that I can do some good somehow tomorrow!!!

God Bless You!!
