Hey all,

Thanks so much for all of the kind words and prayers. I truly appreciate it. The past two days seem like they have lasted two weeks, and the upcoming days are sure to get even harder.

We made arrangements today for Paul's funeral, and tomorrow we're going to pick out a plot and make the arrangements for the mass.

I have been looking for a good poem relating to addiction and death, but am coming up short. Does anyone have anything that might be appropriate? I have found some that have come close, but am looking for one that's "just right".

My nine year-old son heard me reading some poems last night, and when I asked my husband to stand with me for the eulogy, he wanted to be up there too. I asked him if he wanted to say anything, and he proceeded to write a page and a half about his uncle, and is going to read it at Paul's funeral mass. That kid has always been such an empathetic soul, and we're all so touched at his thoughtfulness. God love him.

Thanks,
Jenny
