Thank you!!!!

I would like to send out a very sincere Thank you to all of you for your kind words,thoughts and prayers.My Fathers passing was a tragic thing for our family,as far as immediately family it now leaves us as My brother and I because both of our mothers are gone also.I am very worried about my brother because he still has not showed no feelings or anything and our father and my brother were very close.The funeral was very nice for the situation anyways.I got to see something very beautiful done that I have never seen before.Now at funerals they make these really beautiful DVDs of the one that has passed and their family and friends.It was so nice and the lady did a great job,I cried my eyes out but it was still beautiful.My brother did shed a few tears during it but that was it we got to watch it alone before anyone else had arrived along with some time alone with dad.Dad was creamated a choice of his own and laid to rest on top of his second wive's grave(which was my brothers,mother)and this was fine with me but I just didnt like the whole burning of someone.My 8 yr old daughter made this pretty little cross and beads that she wanted him to have at the funeral well they would only let us lay it on top of the casket but I was so proud of her for doing something like that to show her love.But after the funeral was done and we got to spend some more time with dad alone I was able to make her request come true because I stuck the cross under his lapel on his suit I know it was wrong to go against the funeral home but my daughter wanted her grandpa to have that and I was going to make that happen and besides I thought it would be nice for him to arrive in heaven with his very own cross.After a while we went to clean out dads apartment he didn't have much but what he did have was some very special memories.What ever else we did not have the room to keep ourselves we donated to the salvation army.This is going to be a long road for my brother and I and our families but things to get better it just takes time.I am sorry it took so long for me to get back to all of you but it has just been a really upsetting time and I needed some time away.I would also like to apologize for this being so long but I thought you all would like to know how things went.Thank you all for being there for my family and I,everyone showed a lot of love here and that is why I call you all my second family.I love you all,and Thank you again from my family and I !!!!
