This evening we were all sitting in the hotel room. Kind of bummed about this whole situation and missing Dan.
We watched all the slide shows and had about a good hour of just being silent. It was kind of an erie feeling. We started remembering all the goofy stuff and all the good times or things we remember about Dan the man.
All of a sudden a close friends of Dan’s Chad tells us a story and for about a good 15 minutes everyone in the room was just hysterically laughing. It was a great moment. It was weird they always say laughter is the cure to everything. And Last night that long laugh secession is just what we needed. It was werid how it just felt good and sort of refreshed us and took away something importaint. As Saturday and the funeral and everything gets closer and closer It is harder and harder to grasp how we are going to say goodbye. WE CAN NOT forget to laugh and remember all the goodtimes we had with Dan and cherish them. This is going to be one of the most moving, hard emmotional and life changing expierences for all of us on Saturday. How do you prepare for something like that?
I dont know how to but I called the smartest people I know. I called my parents and they were trying to comfort me and they said to not think of this saturday as saying goodbye rather saying see you later. I know Dan is looking over all of us right now and i guess that is all the comfort we will find for awhile and that’s good enough for me.
GOD BLESS
