tales from an ordinary world

I'm not au fait on funeral protocol - I don't know if I should go (I hardly knew him after all, but then, I guess the reason one might turn up to these things is as a sign of support for the family member that one does know well), or if I should just keep away and convey sympathy in some other awkward way.

I don't know what to do, and I'm scared of making the wrong decision. Nothing feels right. It's the second time in a week and a half but I can't panic and avoid doing something real about it, like last time.
