Thanks. I'm glad of that too. The funeral was nice (as funerals go) not a giant sob-fest at all. The preacher (who I was really worried would get into all the fire and brimstone stuff... and I would have had something to say about that) chose to base his talk in Solomon's words in Ecclesiastes, where he talks about enjoying life to the fullest within the bounds of the written law, which is something that reflected my dad's attitude very well, even towards the end, he did whatever he could to enjoy life when he could... if it just meant getting himself awake enough to enjoy a little company for an hour... or walking to the dinner table to sit down for dinner when I brought it with me that time.
