That happened to me once and it hurt really bad. I send you a big hug and a prayer for Peter's family. That is a horrible way to find out about a friend.

Peter had so many friends that it was nearly impossible for his family to notify them all other than using an obit. I stood in a line for an hour and a half just to pay my last respects. I was fine until I saw the open casket. Then I lost all composure. I couldn't take it. His family was so distraught. His sister is now expecting and I can't imagine the grief. Peter also left behind two nephews. Looking at the pictures of him with those babies just broke my heart. I don't even know what else to say. Thank you all for your kind words.

You talked about the lack of conservative bloggers out there, and I have to say that I agree and disagree. I agree that there is very little attention paid to conservative bloggers. I've been following a lot of the blogher editorials lately and it does seem that things lean to the left over there. That being said, I think there are conservative bloggers--I think that many of them are relative unknowns. Perhaps, as time passes, more and more of them will get their chance in the spotlight. Excellent point, though. Hi Dana:

I've been reading the obituaries for parents and grandparents of friends. It was something my dad does every morning. Often, I'll call him while I ride the train to work just to see if he saw the obit I saw. But to read a peer, and a friend at that, is a kick in the gut. How awful. It will be wierd. Aren't we still in the invisible stage of life? Hang in there. Oh I am so sorry. I’ve been reading the obituaries for parents and grandparents of friends. It was something my dad does every morning.

I think it's neat that he went into your dad's tavern with his siblings. That's something my siblings and I would probably never do, even if we all lived in the same place. That's great that you and your mom are both going to the wake. Seems like these things never get easier or seem okay, but at least you will have some closure. I’m sorry, that is so hard.
