Yesterday

I was part of something amazing.

I attended the funeral and processional for former Peoria Fire Chief, State Fire Marshal and Friend.  This is what is amazing and what seems to be the norm for firefighter funerals, but I think it is simply amazing.

Every overpass from downtown to the cemetery was shut down.  On every overpass, there was at least one firetruck with three firemen paying their respects to this man.

Simply amazing and that is all there is to be said.

On a side note, my Aunt passed away yesterday morning.  We are supposed to be getting a snowstorm tonight/tomorrow..... It's been quite the week at home and at work.  For now, I think I will knit through all crisis ala EZ.
