Yesterday I went to the funeral of a little 12 year old boy. Hunter Hall was killed in a 4 wheeling accident. Funerals for children are very hard. I'm not very close to his mom but I know her boyfriend Dustin. He is Mike's best friend. I met Hunter one time. I remember being impressed with how polite he was. He was playing with the kids at the barbeque and he stopped to talk to me for a minute in the kitchen.
I hardly knew Hunter but the loss of a child is so tragic.
After going to the viewing, Mike wanted to stop by a McDonalds and check on the electrical work that his crew had done there. Unfortunately, the general contractor was there working so Mike had to get out and talk to him. We waited for what felt like forever and then the girls and I decided the best way to get through the duldrums of waiting was to get a McFlurry. Half way through eating her McFlurry Amanda remembered that she was trying to be on a diet and she would use the opportunity of down time to do some exercise. So there she was at midnight doing laps around the trailblazer at the McDonalds parking lot. She is so goofy. We were laughing so hard!
In addition to the Corvette Club, there was a bike club. The Iron Order. I gotta admit I'm a little intimidated by bikers but these guys were so awesome escorting us to the cemetery and then revving their motors when the balloons were let go.
Pretty cool funeral for a pretty cool boy. He was very loved.
