June 12, 2007--Funeral stuff

Erick turned down his grandmother's request for him to do his grandma's funeral. I'm struggling with disappointment right now. I thought it would be really special for him to do that, and I know his grandma would have liked him to do it. I guess he doesn't feel like he'd have enough time to prepare since he's never done one, but he's got to do it for the first time sometime. I'm trying to be compassionate, but I'm still disappointed. I thought he'd want to do it, and I told his grandma he probably would when she talked to me. He said he didn't have time to really think it over, she wanted an answer right then and he didn't want to do without talking to me first. I guess he didn't know she had already talked to me first.
