After 4 hours of driving we arrived in Xenia, OH. There we set up everything for the funeral.
The first night, each of us stayed at a friends place - we met again next day and then we stayed at a Bed&Breakfast in Yellow Springs. It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cornfields (guess what, we're in Ohio^^) and farms. The best place for a family to be together after such a loss and time to start realizing that she's really gone (that process is still going, it just feels so surreal).

On Tuesday, 8/21/2012 Chelsea's parents and the kids arrived from Minnesota.
Nevertheless, it was a long week. The funeral took place on Thursday. As funerals always are, it was sad, but also a relief. Many things would change, especially for my sister, but after several months in the hospital my mom was finally in a better place and for us it was time to go back to Minnesota. Well, for me it wasn't going back since I've never been there before.
So, on Friday 8/25/2012 we left for Greg's and Chelsea's house in Minneapolis, MN. Jolyne will move here and go to school, and I will stay with them for a little while before leaving for the big adventure.
