Too Much

This week has been so overwhelming. A death, wake, funeral, trip to chicago (and back) all within about 7 days. I am tired, sad, exhausted. At the same time, I have been humbled and am so happy. Huge life events bring out a lot in us. Whether those things be good or bad, it doesn't matter. They just bring themselves out.

The trip to Chicago would have been better if it would have happened another week. I think I packed too much into the week. Problem is, if I would have canceled, I would not have been able to see my significant other until today. With everything going on, I think I just needed to be where he ways. Hence, a 36-hour stay in Chicago. Plus, I got to visit with Roxanne a little, which made me feel a ton better as well.

In the end, I am very glad I went. The comforts of home are nice, but there are other comforts that are more important when everything is said and done.
