Sad and happy

As the commentor to my last post noted, Matt's father passed away early Wednesday morning. I flew out on Thursday morning to be with him and his family, and to attend the wake and the funeral. The flowers, friends and family were a testament to how much Matt's dad (Al) and Matt's family are a part of their community. The ceremonies were beautiful, and people said so many nice things. Though it was sad to lose Al, it's a blessing that his family got to spend time with him before he died, and say their goodbyes.

I'm back home, now, and anxiously awaiting bar exam results, while getting the house in order and planning Matt's birthday celebrations for this weekend. We'll try and move away from the sad and focus on the happy.
