Exhausted

Interrupted sleep.  Woke up weary to face a day of planning and important decisions.  1030 am appointment at the funeral home, 2pm appointment at the church.  Submitted obituary.  Planned party for post funeral.  Picked out Dad's clothes.  Started phone chain.  Answered ringing door bell.  Cursed the ringing phone.  Selected old photos for a collage.  Made playlist of Dad's favorite songs for the wake.  Cried on the phone with people I don't know who loved my father.  Locked keys in car at Costco.  At 935pm we toasted my father's first day in heaven.  Missed communication left my brother stranded at Newark airport at midnight.  At 4am went in search of him at a nearby bus stop.  Eyes finally closed as dawn light flooded into the bedroom.  Long day.
