I thought maybe that planning your best friend's funeral would kind of make you numb to things, but I was wrong. I knew this was coming and it still hurts horribly.

I remained strong today, for my grandma and for the rest of my family. I always do that, and then I come home and bawl my eyes out alone.

I don't know why, but I do it to myself, I suppose it's my way of coping and I always feel I should be strong for everyone else.

Our family was cooperative and together tonight, most of us. I'm happy for that and I hope it remains that way. My aunt even wants to take my cousin and I to get tattoos.


I couldn't walk in my grandma's house alone all day today. I needed someone with me at all times. I don't know, I got an odd feeling.

We're sitting here at my Memaw's, coming up with songs for him.

This was one of my Mom's favorites >>>

"His Eye is On the Sparrow" >

Her Minister at the Village, Dr. Cindy, sang that hymn at all of Mom's Services
and Memorials.

My deepest Sympathies to you, Kay, your Memaw, and all of the Family.
Take comfort in knowing that YOU helped fill Papa's last year with Love and Compassion.
I'm sure he enjoyed your meals flavored with .

The man at the funeral home wanted me to make tow bulletin boards of photos and such. He said we get to keep them when we're done.

I had the idea of using his flannel bedsheets as the background. I was just going to buy flannel material, but this is a bit more personal. Anyone that knows my Papa knows he loved flannel. I'm also putting krazy glue, non-skid tape, spray paint, and ducktape on them. A few of the items he was notorious for using. And Pepsi, we cannot forget his precious Pepsi.


Anyhow, my grandma gave me his two flannel pillow cases. I ended up sleeping with one last night. It smells like him and it was comforting.

The songs we came up with:

Joe Cocker - You are so beautiful (he used to sing this song to me.)
Holly Dunn - Daddy's Hands
Garth Brooks - The Dance
Celine Dione - Because you loved me
Dire Straights - Money for nothing
Eddie Fisher - Oh! My Papa
The Eagles - Take it easy

I'll check out the one you posted, too, Phred. Thank you everyone for the support.

You and your family have never been far from my thoughts. It is nice that you have a project to work on that reflects your grandfather to be displayed at his viewing and service. It will help you to deal with the loss, and allow those who are visiting to get a better glimpse of the man you and your family loved so much.

I'm very sorry to hear this, Kay. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts. I know when I heard the news about my grandfathers I couldn't cry, but at the funeral I lost it. I miss them very much still. I like your ideas for the songs and the bulletin boards, to show what he was really like and the fun things about him.
