Thanks all. I spent a bit of time making up some lasagna and rice krispie treats and Hypo and I took them to the family today. They were in the process of working on the photo montage/video that will play during visitation tomorrow so we watched some dance recital videos with them and talked for a little bit. I reached out to one of G's closest friends who I have always considered an "at risk" kid because her family environment is not the greatest. Her facebook posts last night and today indicated that she is very distraught. I let her know our door is open if she ever just needs to be around others.
G's mom and dad are holding up "as well as can be expected". Her twin is handling things by completely avoiding home and being with her friends constantly. She did go home for about an hour and then asked her friends to come and get her again. Eventually, this is going to hit her and I worry it will hit her hard when it does.
Visitation is tomorrow with services on Tuesday morning so my son won't be here. The kids had a meeting tonight, selected a floral arrangement and planned a lantern release memorial gathering for Tuesday night and he should be back in time for that. Everybody will wear the t-shirts they had made in the fall.
I'm better. I went and talked to some of the other moms while they kids were having their meeting (these kids have planning meetings for everything.. they are going to love the corporate world someday). It helped me to be around others.
