Closure

This past weekend Scott and I went to his grandparents house for his mother's memorial service. I was expecting a lot of sadness and had really prepared myself for how emotional everyone might be. However, other than the actual service, everyone seemed really calm and at peace with Terri's passing. I'm glad that the service provided the closure that everyone needed.

I do have to say it was a different experience to me since I'd never known anyone that wanted to donate their body to medical research after their passing. It's strange how death and dying is not only different in each family but all over the world. I guess the differences are what truly makes the world go 'round.

On the more positive side, I got to meet a lot of the Landon's that I've only heard about. Everyone seemed to know a lot about me though! One of the aunt's commented on how long my hair was versus the picture she had in house...um, what picture would that be? :) Oh well, it was a great time and I'm told that the card games, dominoes, and remembering everyone's name is just part of the initiation process.
