Funereal

Today we buried Mom in the cold, cold ground on a cold, cold day. The short funeral ceremony was held in an indoor chapel, and the interment was as brief as could be. I was fortunate not to have too many tears prevent me from the 45-minute drive to Paramus then back. Tomorrow's the first of two shiva days. My bro and sis-in-law have arrived from California and are hella jet-lagged; I look forward to catching up with them tomorrow.
