Mum's funeral
isn't for another week and a half and I feel like I'm in limbo. We're seeing
the vicar tonight (the 'Young American' as we have come to call him) but I'm not
spiritual; well not in an organised religion kind of way, so doubt I'll gain
much from the meeting, other than hopefully a better understanding of what will
happen at the church
A positive thing is we have received several emails and messages from women who were at school with mum and they have been both informative and highly complementary. Mum's early life is a bit of a mystery for various reasons and these words from people who knew mum in her formative years have been very helpful
Sara lost her father at Christmas and the word is her family say it just takes time. Mum has barely been gone ten days and I guess they are right

Yes, it does take time and things hit like a hammer at the most unlikely of times. My old fella gave me the slip back at Christmas 2007 and when I finished my first Wuthering Hike I wept buckets in the hall as I could never tell him what I'd just done .... and, you will start to rebuild after the service. Always a tough day but brighter days are ahead. Best Wishes DT
