I won't be coming back as much as I want to. I had told Steve and David that i would not be coming back even for funerals before I left. They understood how I feel about funerals.
I believe that God has already welcomed him and what's in the casket is just a vessel. I don't need to be there to say goodbyes or visit graves. Their not there and I can talk and feel them anytime.
I know I'm strange. I'm also a coward and selfish cause I can handle that much sadness.
Try not to judge. Everyone needs to do want they need, even it changes from moment to the next.
You all are in my heart and prayers. Take care.
