I spent tonight looking through pictures. Wishing I had a scanner, so this would look better.
To the left is THGGM with his little brother.
To the right shows him standing in his grandma's back yard. The window above his head and to the right is the window to the room in which he died. Although it would be 20 years before he lived there.The last picture shows him at the age of 23.
There won't be a funeral. No visitation. THGGM's grandma didn't have one either, so I guess for them, it isn't strange.
It is to me.

My dad didn't want a funeral either. Seemed weird to me. I realized then the important function of a funeral is for the family to have opportunity to process the loss and feel love and support of others. Some folks don't see a need. Others find that stuff in other ways. Family dynamics are so very interesting.
my heart fills when I look at these pictures - so much was lost - so much was never even recognized because of the veil of falleness - it really does take God, doesn't it.
Was he ever diagnosed with clinical depression? So many people who try to "self-midicate" with drugs and alcohol are clinically depressed, and if they get the antidepressant they need can be spared so much misery.
It is so sad to see a beautiful live lost, and wasted.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
life.... death... so many mysteries, so much longing.
