This is the day THE LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!!!
I will attend Colin's funeral today. I've never liked funerals. I suppose no one likes them. Oddly, I am looking forward to it though. I am looking forward to seeing my Lark & my Ms.Carolyn. Ms. Carolyn told me last night that she thought it would be a nice service. She told me that she shared with Colin what her plans were and that he agreed with them. She said she asked him if he wanted to know and he said yes. What a wonderful, blessed, powerful conversation that must have been.
Once when I dropped by on Halloween a few years ago, I remember thinking what a great couple they made. They complimented each other. I loved his charm and wit and could see how she had fallen in love with him. Of course, I could say the same for him. She's such a lovely person. Like a doting Mother Hen taking care of anyone who will allow her to.
I have regrets now of not going by more often with the boys. I also wish I would have went by hers and Lark's homes after Colin came home from the hospital. I was not sure I wouldn't be more in the way than anything else. The day I visited him in the hospital and went by the house trying to beat the medical transport I felt like an intruder. I will make up for it after the family all goes back to their lives and homes. Perhaps I won't make too much of a bother of myself.
I'm going to check on my friend Wandagail who is currently staying at the domestic violence shelter for women this morning. I haven't heard from her in quite a few days and want to make sure she is doing alright and doesn't need anything.
