A military funeral

Thursday was the funeral. I think that it was the hardest funeral I have ever been to including my grandmother's. I pretty much cried the entire time. I thought I was going to be okay until I saw the flag covered coffin. They rolled it into the church and he was escorted by his brother and brother-in-law in their dress uniforms. His brother got up and listed all of his accomplishments and broke down at the end. The burial was at the National Cemetery. I got teary as soon as we pulled up just seeing the rows of marble headstones and the flag on the hill at half mast. They had an honor guard carrying the casket. They shot off the rifles and played TAPS. I cried so hard. It is just still so unbelievable. I just want to cry it all out. I have been trying so hard to keep myself together for Victor and for Steven's family. I tried so hard not to cry in front of his parents. I am so heartbroken for them. And it makes me sad because I know they will never be the same. He was such a good person. And this just sucks so bad.
