Chris' funeral was today. If there was one message to take away from the service, it's that "Tomorrow is not promised." How true, how true. I've always thought it funny, that people are practically talked about like saints when they die. In his case however, it's about right. Many stories like something as sweet as him helping two elderly mother-daughter strangers with their groceries, or one where he would always say, "I love you more!" One can only wish to be so lucky to have lived such a beloved life in which one touched so many. It was the most beautiful funeral services I've witnessed, though it was also one of the saddest. Funerals are about life as much as it is about death. It is both a sunset and a sunrise. If my funeral has just a fraction of the people that cared like they did him, I would be beaming down with a smile on my face. That's one thing that everyone remembered about him---how he always smiled.

UNC won today. I tivo'd it and watched it afterwards knowing that I was going to miss all but the first few minutes. I wouldn't doubt that Chris looked down and said something to the effect of, "Man, You guys are missing the game!" *lol* That's just the kind of person he is though. I'm glad they won today...one more win for him. The streak is alive! Clemson is still 0-fer in Chapel Hill!

What a week! It's still all surreal. When I was at St.Matthews earlier, It felt like I was watching it on TV or that it was a movie.
