Wow, so I had to go to a funeral today, I try really hard to only go to 1 or 2 funerals a year. I dislike them, who doesn't. I guess I have a hard time with them not because they bother me so much as the large group of people there bothers me. Also I tend to have a bit of a morbid sense of humor which many do not appreciate during such a service.
Anyways, the funeral went today was for a lady I had met maybe once or twice, breaking my rule of only going to funerals for people I really, REALLY love. However this lady has a son and husband and grandson who I am quite well acquainted with, her grandson is in my CubScout den, and her son and husband lead another den in my pack, there was a pack wide email sent out last night asking if possible to attend the funeral, so I did, her grandson is not blood related, he is sort off the outcast of the family because of this. Her son, while a good man, treats this boy different from the children that are actually his, many men do this, and I find it terribly sad, however, from what I saw of this woman she always treated him just like the rest of the grandkids, that really made me respect her, needless to say, I went for him more than anyone else, I was curious how the rest of the family would deal with it, and I am glad to say that they all treated him well, treated him as he should be treated. It was nice to see.
Also it was weird, I figured that I would see a few people for the pack that I knew, and that the rest of the people would be strangers, turns out that this woman was the grandmother to a friends daughter in law, and a neighbors good friend, also the only other people from the pack that showed up were the CubMaster and his wife, so they were glad I was there so that we showed more of a supportive front than they had thought we would do. It was actually a bit sad that no one else from the pack came, makes me sad that we are not as close as I thought we were. It is what it is though, and it was short notice, did not know about it until yesterday, so I guess that some people just were not able to get off work.
Alrighty, I guess that is all for today, just found stuff interesting and needed some place to order my thoughts...
