Funeral today. Burial after. I still can't believe he's gone. It doesn't feel real.

Mom is taking it hard. They were very  close before grandma died. Grandpa Leo kind of acted different after that and mom never understood it.

I talked to him about it a few times. We talked a lot when mom wasn't around. It wasn't to keep her at a distance, really. He was just still processing it all. I don't think he wanted to burden mom with it, reopen that wound. Mom has always been fragile about things like that. Emotional type things.

Maybe he was right. I don't know. But mom could tell things were different, whatever his intentions, and I think it hurt her. I guess she thought she just needed to give him enough time.

Thats the trick about time, though, isn't it? You never know how much you have left.
