Hi you guys,
Well on monday we had dw's grandfathers funeral. He was a nyc (NYPD) police officer,so at the church they had a huge amount of police officers there and they carried his coffin,he also was a marine so they played taps and had a few marines at his burial.At the church we all talked about a man who helped total strangers and laughed a lot,while still sad.There were pictures of him everywhere, and even a ton from when he was a police officer and made the news.Back in 1964 i think,he jumped into freezing ocean to help someone that tried to jump in and commit suicide,he was able to save them, in ww2 he got a purple heart.Although i had been in the family over 12 years,i did not know these things,he was a humble man.He had 5 sons and they were all there today,sad but still smiling at some of the stories shared in the church.It was a sad day and dw handled it well. I learned of a great man today.I don't know how to say this any better,so here goes.I mean on terms of death and funerals,the way everyone shared stories about him today and these stories gave great comfort and smiles to everyone,well what a great way to remember him by.It started to make me think,that when i go this is what i want at my funeral,smiles and laughter.anyway its all over and he will be missed by all and forgotten by few.Well thats really it,i have off until wednesday and have a million things to catch up on today(tuesday)
