I made it through pretty well. the first part of the service I was pretty much a wreck but then got into an internal dialogue with myself. I told me that it was pretty selfish for me to be carrying on this way as this was to be a celebration of his life and I needed to tell the stories that I wanted to tell. my voice quavered a bit, but I got through it. my son spoke after me and did an absolutely brilliant job.
now we need to figure out the best way to work with my Mom to make her happy. that won't start for two more days as people leave
