Alatar, your father's funeral reminds me all too much of my Dad's, which was just over 5 years ago. My brothers and "stepmother" would have said nothing about Dad's life and what was most important to him. They didn't even understand why I felt it important that someone who knew and loved Dad get up and say something about him at all, since they apparently believed the occasion was all about them. It's a sad thing when a man has three sons and two of his daughters wind up being the sons he never had....
