This morning I went to a funeral. It was graveside. It was for a baby who lived 42 days. It sucked. I cried. Then I cried some more. No words could be spoken. As I was walking to my car a uniformed service member of the Air Force got down on one knee over a headstone, took off his cap, and cleaned grass clippings and dead leaves off the headstone. Then I cried again.
