I was standing in the cemetery with Laura. Her mother was just laid to rest. Everyone was leaving to go to the wake at the firehall.
When I heard Laura and her father talking about a firehall wake for her mother, I was surprised because that was something I had never heard of. We didn’t do that in New York.
Her dad said it was an Irish thing and left it at that. But I think it was more a community thing. Everyone around this area has come by with food or just to check up on Laura and her father.
Heck, even the guy, John, that picked us up at the airport has come over several times to help me with things. I tried to be helpful but I’m definitely out of my element here. I didn’t realize that mowing grass was more than just pushing a machine.
I’m finding I’m becoming friends wit
