"Silver Linings"

I went and spent the day in Kitchener just to lend any practical or emotional support that might have added value.  Turns out that while they were doing all the hard stuff at the funeral home I got to spend time with John's grandson.

Yup!  Just me and Izaiah, for 1 1/2 hours in the lobby.  This was before I hauled him out of his car seat.  Is he not freakin perfect!

After I got him out he slept in my arms for an hour.  It took me back about 30 years.  My one arm was totally asleep, and I had to pee so bad my eyeballs were floating, but do you think I was gonna put him down?  No way!  Love you Izaiah, and so does Grampa Z!

And I am amazed how Jean and her family are coping.  It's only been 2 days and already they are smiling and even laughing, along with the crying.  Thanks Jean for letting us share in your grief and your memories.  I consider it a gift.  I always feel special at your house.

And as to anything else beyond love and family.....
