I can't shake the memory of approaching the open coffin for the last time, with my grandma and her sisters, and all of them breaking down at once.
On the upside, theother23 comes home this evening.
EDIT: He won't be home until tomorrow. His second flight has been delayed due to problems with the plane, so he'll be home around noon on Friday. *SIGH!!!*
