this was a full saturday. a man in our ward passed away. Sam Stone. he was a wonderful man, a big sweet teddy bear. we will miss him. this morning ki came home and we went to the viewing and funeral. it was very sad but there is just something about funerals that is so touching, i don't want to say i like them but it just makes you think and refelect i guess. what legacy are you leaving? what will people say about you? mostly they said sam loved everyone, 10 people were listed under his "children" but he only had 3, others asked to be listed because he was like a father to them. what more of a compliment can you ask for in your life. it's hard, i am not a super social person, i am good reading, at home by myself doing stuff, so i hope i have someone show up at my funeral! we will miss you sam! kiley really loved sam and wanted to be there today.
it is rare she has a sat. that nothing is going on so she was able to come, go to the funeral and spend the day with us. we went to chili's for lunch, since she has no where to eat in laie, and caleb actually came along! then he went to target and old navy with me and ki, i have to say my heart smiles when i spend the day with those 2!!
we got ki some groceries and came home and cooked a little so she could take real food back with her to eat instead of having cottage cheese and apples every meal. it's still makes me happy to feed her:)
matt is off to work tonight, caleb went out and ki has a casual date so i am back to being by myself, alone, at home tonight. i am o.k. with that, just come to my funeral, o.k.?

i was so shocked when i heard about his passing, may he rest in peace.
Just don't die, ok? That would solve the problem!
i would be at your funeral kelly. you'd come to mine right. and help jason take care of my kids. if something happened to me and j would you take our kids? it was a touching funeral, i'm glad that i was so blessed to have known a wonderful man like sam.
I feel bad for the family's loss but the comforting thing is that he's with loved ones now.
Kelly, you underestimate yourself! You are a blessing to many people and have touched many people's lives. I know you go over and beyond to help people out but even your little acts of kindness makes a huge difference for someone. I know your acts of kindness has helped me cope with some bouts of emotional struggles and you probably hadn't known that. So know you know! Love you!
I'm RSVP-ing right now! I'm totally coming to your funeral!
Well, that is, if I outlive you.
i don't really feel like saying this because i don't like the idea of it, but of course i'll be at your funeral. you're one of the most influential women i know. i love you.

I mean "he" was a really good man. I should always re-read before I publish my comment.
