came back from the wake a little while ago. one of the lieutenants stated to a friend of mine that it was the largest turnout for a wake he had ever seen, and he has been to dozens upon dozens of military funerals. the wake was scheduled from 4 to 8 but people were still coming through the line at close to 10. the average wait in the line to pay their respects was 2 hours. so many people cared so much to give support to his family.

kristin is still my hero...she sobbed and sobbed until i thought she had nothing left and still managed to make everyone feel okay. as bad as today was, tomorrow will be worse and i'm drained already. gotta go rest up so i try to be strong.
