Thank you for all your good wishes for Bob. The meds have kicked in quickly and he is recovering well [I know this because his appetite has returned!] This is a good thing, because we are both due to be at funerals today - he is going to one locally [a friend from Men's Shed] and I am driving over to Yarmouth for my cousin Peter's funeral. Unfortunately both services are at 1pm.
My cousin Daphne, his older sister, has been helping him so much in recent years since his wife died suddenly. Fortunately she and her husband Cliff live close by. Cliff has had two other family bereavements since Christmas
Whilst it will be good to meet up with my cousins, it is for a sad reason. I hope the love and support of family and friends will be a comfort to all those who are bereaved at this time.
Love and blessings to all of them today. Xx

DeleteI always think a 'good' funeral is one where there is a lovely opportunity for a family reunion, and where friends and relations who don't often see each other meet and renew their connections to each other. I hope both funerals, although sad occasions, are redeemed by renewed relationships and happy memories.
ReplyDeleteAt Peter's mother's funeral, some years ago, Daphne brought a huge folder of family photos she'd found at my aunts house. She said we were all welcome to take any we wanted. There was one I'd never seen before, of my Mum in her school swimming team.( As a teenager, before her illness, mum was very good at sports, but she never really spoke about it later) she looks just like me. Daphne gave me the photo. Reminiscing together is important
