So, after I was done officiating the funeral, came up to me, shook my hand, and told me that he’d never been as proud of me as he was at that moment. I told him that he had no idea how much that meant to me, but I may have been wrong.

So, what now? How do I go back to the day to day after a week like this? I told that I felt that we were so much more a real family after this week, and I still feel that.

I have more catching up to do than I have all semester, but somehow I don’t feel daunted by it. I don’t feel overwhelmed. I feel like there’s a reason to be doing what I’m doing.

What a god damn week.
