I have been asked by Dale's parents to give his eulogy at his funeral this week. I am deathly affraid of public speaking, and I am terrified at the thought of doing this. I can only hope that the solemness of this gathering will quench my fears. I recently had to read a few paragraphs at the ring ceremony of my buddy Scott's wedding, and I may or may not of done a terrible job but I felt horrible while doing it. His older brother said I was sweating so much at the pulpit I looked like Shaq at the free-throw line. Again, I hope this event will go differently for me. I just hate the thought that I won't be able to enjoy the celebration of Dale's life because of my personal fear.
