I was okay until Ave Maria |
|
What a beautiful voice she has.
Vicki looks absolutely bereft in her grief. I hope this Mass does give her some comfort as the most difficult part is yet to come, the eulogy from Barack Obama.

I had no idea how much his passing would move me.

7. Yes, I was just thinking that the music has been extraordinary... |
|
Perfect for this remembrance.
Ted Kennedy Jr. speaking now.
I'm reduced to a blabbering, weeping, pile of jello right about now.

9. Yep, the sledding story just reduced me to heaving sobs |
|
I know the boys will do an excellent job speaking; really, the entire family has just shown such extrordinary grace, dignity and absolute charm throughout this series of events for Teddy.
I just sit in admiration of them all.

13. Me too- and now Patrick |
|
I'm sitting overlooking the Bay in Falmouth (on the Cape)listening the the funeral picturing Teddy sailing by in his Red Sox pullover waving to us on the beach. I thought I had collected myself until Ava Maria...then it all fell apart again.

This is a tough event to get through but I'm enjoying sharing the joys & sorrows with fellow DUers, new and old.

24. I cried through the entire thing |
|
Not even trying to hold back. Hearing the stories from his family it seems like he was always 100% there for each and every last one of them. Especially when they needed him most.
I'm crying right now, just writing this.
