I'm home and thank you! (LONG)

Aaron.....
     I am glad you made it back to md. safely. I am sure it was tough on you, but at least your grandpa isnt in pain anymore. I lost my grandfather in 2000 & it really took a toll on me since him & my grandmother basically raised me....... so from my heart, please take care of yourself.
   My heritage is hillbilly too {LOL}......my biological fathers family is from the hills of WV & my adopted dads family is from Elkins, WV.......I dont get there often either, sadly it is usually for a funeral........its kind of sad actually. Maybe I need to take some time this year & go back, just a "just because I miss you" trip.
Hugs~

I am so glad that your sister decided to come to the funeral. Sometimes it takes a sad event to show us whats really important. 

I don't like to look into caskets or go to viewings either. I prefer to remember friends and family and what they meant to me alive.  I was encouraged to look at my grandfather in the casket and I really regret it. Everytime I think of him, thats the image I think of.  So, I think you getting out of line and not looking was what was good for you, don't worry about how others may perceive it!

Great news about your leg! Keep on getting better.

Aaron I am glad you are doing well. I am sorry about your Grandad but glad to see you had some good memories even though it was a sad ocassion. Your Grandma was so cute with what she said about trying to stay away from the cemetery...I am so glad your family came together during such a trying time to mourn your Grandad...
