Well for any of you that didn't know my Great Grandmother Slate died monday of this week.......we went to Memphis today for the funeral.......I spent probably 10 hours in a car with my dad (whom I dislike) and my grandmother (whom is the worst back seat driver ever).........They had me drive the last 150 miles from Jackson home.......it was horrible just because I had to drive my grandmother's car which really isn't all that great and I had her telling me how to drive every 3 seconds.......but besides that I had a great time.....I got to see family that I haven't seen in about 10 years and some I hadn't seen in about 15 or 16 years........I got to see my Aunt Sanua and her family which I hadn't seen in about 8 or 9 years........I also got to see my Uncle David and his family......he's a great guy along with his wife and 6 kids.......and I got to see my Uncle Kenneth and his family.........which he has been in Washington DC for awhile and was working on cleaning up the aftermath of Katrina for 8 months making him gone for the past year almost........which I had dinner with all of them along with my grandmother and dad.......I had a great time today.......I was thinking about how I want my funeral and such to go and I decided I am just going to have a wake so that the great times I had after the funeral could be spread over a couple of days instead of a few hours........man I have got to say I have really missed that side of my family.....also I got to visit the graves of my great great great grandmother and grandfather....and my dad's dad or my grandfather......sad thing is I never met my grandfather on my dad's side because he died before my dad was 10......but all in all I had a great time.......I didn't expect something this good to come from someone in my family dying........
