I heard Don't Stop (Fleetwood Mac) on the car radio on the way to the house this morning before the funeral. The lyrics are about looking forward, not backward and the line "All i want is to see you smile. If it takes just a little while" ... and i knew Dad was sending me another sign.

Everyone said it was a service that couldn't be more suited to Dad. His best friend's speech and mine and then his cousin singing Dad's favourite Slim Whitman song. I will post what i said later when i get home.

There were about 200 there, standing room only spilling out into the hall and into the room where we were sitting. There was two police cars blocking the traffic for when we came out (one of my cousins is a police officer). The line of cars stretched... well it had to be over half a mile, maybe more. We turned at the Forest Hills Parkway and the cars were still coming out of the funeral home parking lot and snaked all up the road. It was quite something to see. Dad would be impressed.

We got through it.
