To say I'm a digit head is an understatement. I relish data. I constantly analyze. Trying to make sense out of the information in front of me. Trying to determine cause and effect. Trying to classify and categorize.
Yesterday we laid my Father-in-Law to rest. It was a beautiful celebration of his life. Despite the impending storm and the cool, blustery weather, the Sun made an appearance as we carried his casket to the grave site. It was a fitting finish.
After all the emotion, I laced up my shoes and hit the Back Bay for some introspective time. The clouds were swirling and the winds cold and biting by the time I finished up at dusk.
I guess there are just some things that don't need to be analyzed....
Sorry for you loss.
ReplyDeletei am so sorry for your loss! I hope you celebrated your father-in-laws wonderful life! I did that last year when my grandmother passed! I flew from LA to Scotland for her funeral and it was a celebration of life! She was 100! I can only hope I live that long! I know where you are! And I'm sure the run was fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Glen. It is comforting to know that families can be Eternal though. Your a great guy. Take your wife out for a long vacation of her choice. Sounds like both of you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your FIL. It's always nice to see a sign from God during a service like that.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss...glad you had a chance to find some peace .
ReplyDeleteHope you got some rest this weekend. I know that dealing with a funeral and such can be very stressful. When my grandfather died my freshman year in college I didn't realize how much strain it put on me. Looking back at pictures of myself just 2 days after the funeral I look horrible. I didn't even realize how drained and tired I actually looked. So I hope that you got some rest and the run helped and this week will be a good week for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the loss of your father-in-law. I'm glad running can help a bit, even if it's a hard thing to make sense of.
