Those unplanned things
Returning home for the tiny break in between semesters is normally a very relaxing, very stress-free experience. However, when a trip to Seattle is interrupted by the sudden death of a best friend’s father, a leisure-laden vacation suddenly turns into something much different. Timber Dick was like a second father to me, and he will be missed by hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Full days free from classes shouldn’t be emotionally draining like this. I’m going to need another vacation once this one has ended.

i'm sorry.
it was good that you were able to be there for Corbin and the others...and i loved seeing you too!
I felt the stress also. When you have been to a few more funerals you will remember how special thia one was. Emotions need time to heal, and funerals (with all the friends and loved ones) are a necessary salve in the healing process. You were able to "Mourn with those who mourn, and comfort those who stand in need of comfort," A true follower of Christ. And in doing so, you also were comforted. Corbin and Libby will have need of a true friend in a little while, when the dust has setteled. The spirit will tell you when. Don't miss that prompting. I LOVE YOU SON.
my brother jacob called me from denver and told me about timber. that night we prayed for him and his family. i'm so sorry for what you and many people who were close to him are going through.
