Well, it looks like I won't be able to make it to the funeral on Friday. I have my son this week and the ex says she can't take him. That, and the ticket just for me would be around a thousand bucks even if she could have. It's very disappointing. I spoke to his brother yesterday and got the whole story. Evidently they now have all four of the killers in custody. One actually came to Paul's arraignment to watch. They cuffed him as he left the building.

I haven't talked to his folks yet. I don't know if I will be able to. I did send flowers but that just feels like a cop out. I don't know... it's just so freaking depressing.

My son asked me why I was so sad and I tried to give him a version that a six year old could understand. He gave me a big hug and told me he was very sorry for my friend. I know he doesn't understand that that friend is never coming back but it was such a real and wonderful gesture. It makes me so glad I have such a great kid.
