Today has been better, the kids and I went to "Gibson Florist" to wire a planter for Gary's calling hours and funeral. Everyone pitched in and collected money to do it. I feel in better spirits because they replaced the candles with a picture of him. It was probably in stages and you know how with grief "I can jump the gun'' there are a series of pictures of his heritage which is nice. I know Wednesday and Thursday will be tough, a couple days in being treated like dirt, just being hurt for their pleasure.
I remember what mom and my sister told me "Just hold your head high, be kind, gracious and classy and above all act the way a true christian would act even though they won't" without Gary there to stabilize and bring comfort with his friendly smile, it will be hard to face these days ahead.
My son will be a pall bearer and he's proud to do it for his grandpa and his dad as it should be. My kids and I will focus on that instead of all the negativity around us.
We will miss you dad and grandpa Hutchison
