Mom's birthday was brutiful (beautiful and brutal coined by Glennon). Countless times I'd look around and think how beautiful life was, to see so many family and friends, but how brutal it was that the main event, dad, wasn't there with us. It's kind of surreal to have so many people come to celebrate the life of someone who is no longer here in body. At any rate, Cami kindly took the girls to get pedicures (mom recently discovered that she loves pedicures so that was wonderful). Then, most everybody arrived in town that evening for the funeral in the morning. We had a BBQ at the park where we laughed, and cried, and hugged. Though dad wasn't there in body, I'm certain his spirit was hanging with us, smiling with joy at the love he had for every person there.
