PROBLEM: The day we buried my dear mom in law was one to remember. It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous service. Everyone came to honor her. The service was very nice and personal.

SOLUTION: Today we laid my mother in law to rest. The funeral was beautiful and very tasteful. There were so many people there. Friends, family, club members, dancers, neighbors, people from church. I will miss her dearly as she was my best friend for 20 years. I still cannot believe she is gone. Cancer sucks!! Many of the people there made a donation to animal shelters. She was so passionate about animals. She was well loved and will be missed. The service the pastor gave was so elegant and appropriate for the occasion. It will be a day I will remember for a long time. She will never be forgotten. The weather was beautiful. I enjoyed the service. Funerals are often depressing but hers was very nice.

PROBLEM: This is entry is about the first day of moving in to the place of my partner, Celia, which also happens to be a move across the country. It goes through the emotions of walking through the door and having her give me the tour to the end of the night.

SOLUTION: Wow today was a pretty huge day for me! I am pretty wiped out after all of the activity. I had to wake up early this morning to get onto a plane to fly across the country where I met Celia, my girlfriend. The moving truck was there waiting for me so we went straight to the apartment and got to work unloading boxes. As we worked to unpack and put things away, Celia gave me an unofficial tour of the place. It was the least of my concerns of course but I have to say, it was nice to see that the apartment is cute and comfy. I am honestly looking forward to living here full time, its a really nice place. Celia is the best, too. She made space for all of my belongings and has been being so kind and welcoming. We luckily got finished moving things in pretty fast so after a shower and a little bit of time to relax, Celia offered to take me out around the neighborhood. It was so new and different but I love how everything felt. We stopped in at some cool shops and then went for an early dinner at a nice restaurant that's just down the street from our place. I can't believe that its really "our place" now! Its so exciting. I just can't wait to see where our future is headed from here. After such a busy day though right now its just time to get some rest.

PROBLEM: When my mother passed away my sister and I made the arrangements for her funeral. The funeral director was very difficult to work with but in the end everything worked out. It was a nice service.

SOLUTION:
it has been one check of a day, today was mom's funeral. me and my sister were in charge of everything about her funeral. I had been worried how it was going to turn out because the funeral director was not the most enjoyable person to interact with. for a little bit it seemed like it was not going to be a good service like we wanted to have for her. it seemed like he was being difficult to spite me and my sister, it was like everything we wanted he had some kind of disagreement with it. finally though we all came to a agreement on the funeral. it was a beautiful service, all of the family and friends showed up right on time. the service ran smoothly. I never knew that it would take so much to make a funeral service to go perfect. I always thought it all just pretty much just went how you wanted it to go. I think my mom would have loved to see just how well we did. all in all the service was beautiful, it was a sad day but at the same time a great day because we had a great service and everything ran smoothly and was in order. I miss my mom but I know she is in heaven happy. I hope that she loved the service. my father was pleased with the service also. me and my sister did a pretty good job handling everything.
