Just a quick post.. brain is still not functioning, and I know you're here to catch up on Glen! Will say that Michael's funeral was breathtaking in its scope and intensity. 79 police dogs: 2 Belgian tervurns, 1 giant schnauzer and the rest german shepherds including Michael's dog. A spontaneous high-pitched whine from all of them as the flag was being folded (Mike had once described this to me from another funeral he had been at... sends shivers down the spine, believe me!) Over 200 officers, blocks and blocks of squad cars with their lights flashing.. bagpipes, 21 gun salute, taps. Damn. I've never been saluted before.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, 2 funds have been set up for Mike's kids. The Michael McLaughlin's Children's Fund can be donated to at any Wells Fargo Bank. The McLaughlin Family Trust has been set up by the Foster City Police Department through Merrill Lynch. Donations can be made by phoning 925-945-4882.
Not a whole lot new from Glen's doctor appointment.. Dr North was honestly more worried about me, since we were heading directly to Mike's wake. Upped his Celexa again.. still have some room to up it if needed. He's kind of grumpy and needy today.. as i've said before, usual pattern after any event, let alone the intensity of the past week. Hoping for a couple quiet days for both of us.
