Well...this day from Hell is over. The services were ok, Dawn played 4 country songs that made everyone cry. The one that got to me was If Something Should Happen. It was for David. It was about a guy going in for surgery and if something should happen, take care of my wife and kids. It was hard. I looked at David and his eyes were welling up. It was better than the 1st choice which was aobut a guy and his best friend and started with, "Hey Dave." All this did was make me realize how much I hate country music.
After, I came home to change and then Nick and I went to Jimmy's parents house. There were over 150 people there. Nick had a hissy fit/melt down when I told him he could not go swimming with the rest of the kids. The adults were all getting drunk and 25 kids in the pool. I would have been the only sober person watching and I did not want that responsibility. Nick and I left. David was kidnapped by his co-workers so I caught up with them, had a margarita and went on to Chuys. David finally caught up with Nick and me at Chuys and a few of his friends came with him. Jimmy's hand, Jose is a young kid and taking it real hard. He admitted to me tonight that he came real close to following in Jimmy's footsteps. He looked up to Jimmy. He told David last Saturday that the only way he could go to work is if he could work with David. He is now David's hand.
I am just glad today is over. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to go through.
