Why is it?

Why is it on the days of death the sun does not seem to shine? Is it God's way of reminding us to take the time for mourning?

The day you went home baby I was a sun shiny day, but today when I picked up your remains from the funeral home, the skies were gray, and some raindrops had fell. It reminded me of the sadness of where I was at and why I was there. The color of the sky (gray) reminded me of one of your favorite colors, black being one of the others. The raindrops remind me that even though I am very sad, that you would want me to at least find a happy moment between the two of us as well. If that is the case, it is going to be a long time, and a wonderful journey. I miss you and long for your soft touch and your sweet kisses. I hope to see you soon, even if it starts with my dreams.

So the funny moment happens right after writing this note (it was actually hand written this morning).

So I am doing errands this morning and one of the first stops is to pick up Amy's remains from the funeral home. As they are finishing getting everything together, I step out to the car to hand write what I posted above. Well, I never EVER leave my keys in my hands or anywhere else (you probably know by now where this is going). I finished writing and needed to get back inside. I heard a slight tinkling sound as I opened the car door and I did as I usually do without thinking, I locked the door and then shut it. It took about 20 seconds for it to register in my brain...Tinkling sound, car door locked and shut, NOOOOOOOOO!!! Sure enough I looked helplessly in my car window and there lay the keys in the drivers seat locked securely.

Now when Amy meant for me to have some humorous things to remember, I did not think that meant starting now and working my way backwards. I was a little upset about the whole situation, but then I felt calm, looked up and said "I am laughing right there with you baby!!!" I could her her say, I told you you would forget some day. Thanks for making the day better baby, I miss you and love you LOTS!!!
