Thank ya'll so much..
Just popping in for a bit, I am about to take a nap.
We decided to do all his arrangements beforehand, but I found out today how cheap my Daddy really was. When quoted the price for a monument.. he exclaimed "D**NIT"
My mom said he thought it would be cheaper to make a 2 by 4 cross and just Sharpie his name on it, and when it faded out.. redo it, and we can even get different colored Sharpies for the Holidays. He also thought a hefty bag would suit him just fine.
I totally can see my Dad sayin that..seriously.
I will be out of pocket for the next few days.. Services are Thursday at 10 am..I dunno how many of ya'll are Catholic, but we have a viewing, and a rosary, or I think it's called a wake for other religions, then because of our Cajun heritage, afterwards we usually have a big party/BBQ. Sounds odd.. a party, but we talk about the person, bring pictures, share stories, get plastered and see people we havnt seen in years. Shame it has to be under these circumstances.
The one thing I do regret.. I dunno if regret is the right word.. I am an only child. My parents adopted me. My dad had 8 brothers and sisters and they all had at LEAST 7 kids apiece. So it's just me and my Mom, I feel naked? Like if I had a bunch of brothers or sisters.. these people could go talk to them and stuff, I honestly want to make a sign and hang it on me that says *I am great, I am sad, yes he is in a better place, yes thank you, no thank you, the kids are great, no I am not hungry, yes I know I have put on weight, yes I will tend to my mom, yes she is provided for, now go away*... cause it gets really irritating answering the same set of questions I just answered the person right before, and before them, and before them, and before them..
That sounds horrible.
2 Babies left, they are thriving.
Thanks to EVERYBODY for the emails.. considering I have been showing my butt lately. it was quite overwhelming.
When I get back, I will be the good Zin again..
Thanks again guys.
