BSmith and NY,
Thank you both for such generous offers! Let me speak with their mother about it, and if she gives the approval, then we can make arrangements.
Thank you all for the kind words! It has helped quite alot. I went to the viewing and said my peace. It was hard. I still can't believe he's gone. His wife was at such a loss, that
she looked atleast thirty years older. His sons accepted any hug or handshake offered, they carried themselves well. My poor little old uncle, though, was just as lost as my cousin's wife...he looked like a walking skeleton. It was pitiful. Last week was nothing short of a mess.. It's been a difficult run and has tested my nerves and patience quite a bit. I'm just glad it's monday.... My wife and I had a good weekend together, loafing around trying to get my stress down....everything was going great. Then my mother-in-law starts in on my daughter, during a board game... -_- ...pulled my wife and I into it... Long story short, my wife and I didn't take it sitting down lol.

(My mother in law is a sweet woman, but damn she has bad timing to start an argument!) (Plus, I'm very protective of my family lol)
*His favorite Bks:7, 9, 2. He'd have loved the Kukri, too. He had a taste for machetes and larger knives. He also liked the 11, probably bc I often spoke of it. It's what he'd have refered to as a "Toothpick".
I can't wait for our anniversary to come up! We both need a vacation!
Again, thank you all very much for the kind wishes and words, reading them does help alot!
