I cut short my participation in visitation. I had already had lunch with the family at the church, so the visitation is for others to pay their condolences to the family.
Frankly, I do not require any condolences, but it was very good to see the turnout at the stroke of 3 p.m. My back has been giving me fits and starts all morning. I have done all the medicating I dare do, and I just needed to sequester myself in a comfy chair where I could sit for as long as I like.
So, I said my goodbyes and headed home. Now that I am here, I want nothing more than to lie down and nap.
Ah, me.
