More About the People

more about the people

funerals aren't meant to be enjoyed...
but , in a way, dad's was magical
not so much because of the content
(though that was nice too)
but because of the people
at least five hundred
some came for him
some came for me

dad's old chorus teacher
my friend who's not my friend and her family
dad's friends from high school
my principals
dad's elementary school teacher
my school counselor
dad's colleagues in entertainment
my friends who should have been in cleveland
dad's friend from kindergarten
my long lost fifth grade teacher
the husband of the aunt i never met
my language arts teachers
dad's out of state relatives
my friend from connecticut

so many people
so many tears
so much caring
