You were being a good person Bob, I can tell you that. I just had the same thing happen to me kinda in that my good friend just lost his grandfather, who he was extremely close with. He was the kinda of old man that you could sit around drinking with and he was always smiling. My friend is a quiet/mildmannered(unless hammered)/great guy but has that 'toughness' about him, not very emotional so the last couple of days were pretty hard. The family asked me to be a palbearer and then when i got to the funeral, they asked me to do a reading. While I don't mind public speaking, in that environment, it was extremely hard for me but I couldn't have been more honored. I am emotional by nature but it is so hard, for me, to hear about death and to see people I am close with go through it. Matter of fact, it is hard seeing anyone go through it.
