We had a good day yesterday. It was Little Man's first wake in several years, and I had prepared him about what it would be like. He was a freaking rockstar, you guys. He walked in with my dad, went up to the friend who's wife died, shook his hand and said he would miss "Miss Sue," then he went with my dad to the kneeler, looked at Sue, blessed himself and said a prayer.

Our friend's stepson and grandkids wouldn't even come near the coffin, and they're the ones who wanted the wake. So, I'm going to be a bit obnoxious and pat myself on the back because my almost 5 year old handled things better than the teenage grandkids of the woman who died.
