Wonder Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Today is the day for the funeral. It's going to be so hard! My dad was a huge horseshoe player when I was growing up. For the funeral, I am walking up in the beginning of the service with his horseshoe box with a brother on each side of me. At the front of the chapel, I place the box next to his picture and open it (he's been cremated so no casket), each brother will take out a horseshoe and place it on either side of his picture. If everyone could please think of me to give me strength to do this, I will need it. I don't know that I will be able to do it without breaking apart. Positive energy will be need tonight from 4-8pm central time. Thank you to everyone that has PM'd me. I have gotten so many from people that I don't even know and you have no idea how much it has meant to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Guest GreyhoundTrish Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 You know I'm right here, just a keyboard or phone away. I wish I was there, but you know the circumstances that I can't get away from the new job. But you know that I'll be at your side, holding your hand in spirit, even if I can't hold it for real.
