I know this was taken in January, but it was Florida and it was warm out and I really need me some summer right now. Seriously.

Memorial
I ate this in memory of my mother’s brief career as a child criminal mastermind. If you know the story, you get the reference. If you don’t, sorry.

She wants to go to the mall today.
How is this Comfortable?
Ornaments
There are Christmas ornaments on the trees near my mother’s grave. It’s weird.
We Made It
We made it through the funeral and the cemetery and the after luncheon. That’s actually still going on but it’s wrapping up.
It was painful but good. We all came unglued a few times but we are all okay. My dad did great. He left the lunch a little early but he made it nearly all the way through. I’m proud of him.
Jammed
My camera somehow came off the take up spool on the last photo. Not sure how that happened. It felt like it jammed, but I am not sure that is the right word to use. The result was my first ever double exposure… even if it’s not a complete double exposure. It’s still kinda cool to think about.
Suit
It’s Starting
I’m dressed in a suit for the first time in years. I’m at my dad’s getting him dressed up too.
The wake starts two hours from now. I’m really nervous and I’m starting to freak out a little. I’ve never done this for a parent before. I’m very sad and really not looking forward to any of this.
ADDENDUM: We are at the wake. Doors don’t open for another 40 minutes or so, but the majority of the family is here. We are spending a little time together before any guests show up.
This is going to be tough.
