X three.
Funeral for a stranger.
So this last story is about a guy who goes to a funeral for somebody who does not know it all and has to piece together all the stuff you would want to know in that kind of situation.
And the guy who did this uh wrote us an email at the radio show.
There was no subject heading in this email.
The very first line was a link to an obituary for another guy named Eddie Frulani.
Eddie had died a few weeks before.
He was young when he died, only thirty-five.
The email began, Dear this American life, I'm attaching a quick document that I created Friday, documenting some of the thoughts and emotions I had following the funeral of a Navy SEAL.
The whole experience was more of an odyssey than I had bargained for.
