...I traveled by car for 2 and 1/2 hours to attend the funeral of a family member.
Bagpipes were played and a bell was struck fifteen times in honor of this firefighter. A wonderful commendation displaying the brotherhood shared by all firefighters, a tribute containing great taste and respect for the deceased and his chosen profession.
Before I got into my car for the drive home, I embraced my cousin and we agreed it was not good to be only meeting at funerals.
