My Grandpa's funeral was on Saturday. His service was at Elijah Church of Christ in Caulfield, MO, and he was buried at Sweeton Pond Cemetary in Dora, MO. Even though it was difficult sitting through his service, my dysfunctional family found some way to have some laughs. For starters, there was about 6-8 inches of snow on the ground; therefore, people weren't going to dress up; however, I didn't know how true that was going to be. A man, apparently, thought it was appropriate to come to the funeral in his converalls. Not just any coveralls, but coveralls that were so worn out that he had to use duck tape to cover the holes up. That's not all or the best. The best was an Elvis impersonator. Yes, Elvis impersonator. I'm talking hair, glasses, gold rings. Excluding a white, sequence jump suit, that man sought to embody Elvis Presley.
When my husband saw the Elvis impersonator, he turned to me and started to chuckle. He then said, "Elvis has entered the building." I couldn't help but laugh.
Tomorrow, Monday, February 1, 2010, I should be going back to work. However, I'm so exhausted (emotionally, mentally, & physically) that I would be useless. I know I'm going to have to go back to work eventually, but I also know that it still hurts too bad to go back to work. No matter what, I will go back to work on Tuesday. GOD BLESS!
Glad everything went ok for you guys. At least you got in some good laughs! Rest today and get back in the groove tomorrow...still thinking about your family.
