Well, here we are one week later. All the out of town relatives have gone home. My brother and Kit went home on Wednesday. We're supposedly back to our regular lives. Except we're still missing someone. I know it will feel like that forever. I miss him so much!
I think the funeral was a fitting tribute to the man we loved. My brother and my Uncle Joe did the readings and did a fabulous job! Our friend, Becky, sang the mass parts and the music for us. She has the voice of an angel and the sun was shining on her through the mass which made us feel like Daddy was participating in his own way. The surprise of the day (for some) was that Husband spoke about his relationship with Daddy. How funny it was to hear people's reactions afterwards! I am proud that Husband was willing to speak about Daddy. I think he did a terrific job. And, no, I can't share his comments here because he did it truly in his own style - no notes, no nothing, straight from the cuff. Not sure how he does that...
We're planning the burial for next Friday, the 11th. Next week will be another difficult one.
If you'd like to share any stories of Daddy with us, please send an email to me at worthycubed@yahoo.com or you can post a comment here. That will help us so much to hear those stories.
Blessings!

Dad was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer on June 4th, 2009. Sadly, he lost the fight on August 28th, 2009. Less than three months and he's gone. Miss you, Daddy!

When something so tragic and unexpected happens, there is so little friends can do. The pictures are a small thing but hopefully show the Bradford's love for the Geigers.
