A Day of Mourning

July 6, DAD in law died! We were on the home and we just can't make it on time. July 7th was a dragging day for all of us. July 8th was my birthday and people come in and out of the house but not for my birthday. It was sad but a week prior to that I had my birthday celebration in his room in the assisted living facility. He was happy on that day and he asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I just said whatever he will offer, I will accept. July 9 was his wake and we were in the funeral home from 4PM up to 8PM. There was an amazing moment happened last night. A plaque lost during Hurricane Katrina was found by this family. They keep it for years. They came and returned the plaque last night when they read his name on the obituary in the newspaper. Isn't it odd and timely? Yes! it happened! Seeing Dad in the casket was painful. Every family member was "okay". Dad is in Heaven and finally rested in peace. Goodbye Dad! Thanks for the memories and laughters. Today we will lay him in his final resting place.
