Grampy Boston's wake

[fell_on_summer]

took the train to Maine yesterday. This was the first time my brother had ever been on the train and it ended up being late by stopping for like 20 minutes because there was a CRACK in the rail. awesome.

i must be predictable. i think i pay close attention to death in the family with you because you've had so much of it, and i know how it affects you. it really stinks that it takes death to bring a family together, and that's really how most families are. there are so many people i don't even know in my family, like i am not close at all with my aunts, uncles, and cousins...just my grandparents and my immediate family. i think it was nice that he was represented as he really was when he was alive. i'm glad you hugged your dad, and it takes a strong woman to do what your mom did, and i hope that people know that. she's amazing really. would you want to know your brother dustin better? i know there are people in my family like my auntie teddy (from my dads side/my nanas sister) that i would like to know better. i have very vague childhood memories and seeing her is like seeing a mirror image of my nana...maybe that's why i would like to know her better, and i know that it will take me to step up to create the relationship. it stinks
