Tonight was the memorial for our family member.  It was the first time we had met some of the folks and we were able to relate funny stories that celebrated the good things about the family member so I hope that it was therapeutic for those folks directly involved.

My sib is holding up pretty well, although I know that the I've-got-it-together-ishness was a coping mechanism, I hope that when it comes time to fall apart, my sib knows to count on the rest of us.

Tough week.  Next up, stopping by Interlochen to see my baby and then off to see my dad, whose health isn't doing so well.
