paul's dad died

i had never been to a jewish funeral before and wasn't planning on going but when i woke up hungover i was invited. dan had to drive us out to long island and it was raining the entire day. we stopped at wendy's and 20 minutes later dan really had to go to the bathroom so he pulled over and went inside of the funeral parlor while we waited in the car listening to the rain.

when we arrived we missed the rites and everyone was leaving. i remember having to go outside to feel the rain to tamp down my hangover and asking paul why his shirt was ripped
