Default Re: GF invites me to wake, whats my line?

I had only met my girlfriend's father once before he died (we lived in GA, her family was in NY). My girlfriend (now wife - this was 6+ years ago) was with the family when it happened and called me in the middle of the night, around 2:00am. I had a flight booked within an hour and was in NY that afternoon.

It was the first time I had met her extended family (I had met her mother and sister the one time I met her father) and I didn't feel awkward about it at all. Her family even asked if I'd be a pallbearer. I had no problems with that, either.

There really wasn't a question in my mind about going to the funeral.
