"Emmett&amp;#039;s great-grandpa died early Saturday morning. (Hence the grandparent-centric posts lately.) It didn&amp;#039;t occur to me not to bring him to the funeral, which is today, but \u2026  More than one person has said that&amp;#039;s weird!  My mom&amp;#039;s best friend offered to babysit Emmett during the funeral, which was so lovely of her. (Thanks, Sue!) But I can&amp;#039;t imagine not having him there with me. Like Rory said, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s all very &amp;#039;circle of life.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s so awesome that Emmett and his great-grandpa got to spend time together, and it&amp;#039;s neat that even though great-grandpa isn&amp;#039;t here any more, he lives on through his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  In fact, Emmett&amp;#039;s middle name, James, was the name of his maternal great-grandfather, paternal great-grandfather, and my stepfather&amp;#039;s father&amp;#039;s name. (So three out of four great-grandpas\u2014pretty cool!)  Plus, it&amp;#039;s not like Emmett&amp;#039;s going to remember the funeral, right? (Right?!)    That&amp;#039;s four generations! Is it appropriate to bring an eight-month-old baby to a funeral? Would you leave him at home? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
