Something very sad happened this weekend. Yesterday I was calling around my various friends and making plans for a trip to NV for the evening. While I was on the phone with Bethany,, I found out that another friend's father died on Friday. Jeffery is an ex-boyfriend of mine and we have stayed friends, although recently we've grown apart. HIs father discovered he had cancer this past year and it was already advanced by the time it was found. The whole family is very sweet, caring and some of the most giving people I've ever known. The father was a kind and funny man, it is hard to believe that he is gone. His son, my friend, adored and idolized his father. I haven't spoken to him yet but I am sure that Jeffery is devastated. The service today was very appropriate. The family, every sibling and parent, is musically gifted. The service included songs written and performed by his children, all of whom (including Jeffery) are professional musicians, as well as songs written and performed by the deceased himself. I have not been close to this family over the past few years, and I regret that. I started to choke-up at the end of the funeral, it was very touching and reminded me, as funerals tend to do, of my own loved ones and how it would feel to lose them. Excuse me for being so cliche and girly, but I just had to get this out of my system.
