Today was another day of firsts and lasts. Today I officiated my first funeral since Dennis’s death. A large crowd gathered at the park to remember a man who was clearly loved and missed by many. I’m reminded of the honor it is to be called to such holy work.
Tonight was the last event I had planned for us as a couple, a dinner train ride that I booked back in April. We took the same dinner train ride back in 2022 and planned to go again for a date night. What can I say? We’re train nerds. I didn’t want to cancel, so I dragged my baby brother along. It was fun to catch up and we even had the same conductor from 3 years ago.
