Yesterday was the funeral for Grandpa Don Liem. It was a great service with heartfelt speeches and the recounting of many tales of adventure and merriment. It was good to see the all the Liem's again.

It was sad and happy at the same time. There was a luncheon afterwards, and it felt just like one of Grandpa Don's old parties. It's been a long time, and I'd forgotten how important the family is to us. Grandpa Don and Grandma Liem have been like my parent's parents.
