Losing a loved one is always difficult. I can understand why you were moved to tears when you heard taps. Oh! It undoes me too! Every time. Gives me chills too.

The playing of taps is one of the most moving experiences of my father's funeral, but I think it's also a celebration of courage and ritual that we as humans so need.
