I know loads of people who love Halloween but it has never been my thing.
I am not a fancy-dresser upper. I am way too self conscious to enjoy fancy dress. I wonder what that says about me?!
I guess I could do with letting go a bit more. 🎃👻
I was only in work for 2.5 hours this morning, as we had a funeral today.
I find writing about a funeral difficult. It is not my story to tell and not up to me to report on someone’ else’s parent’s funeral. (I have no idea where the apostrophes should land in that sentence!)
I do want to say that it was a lovely service. I loved to hear the eulogy of her life. The empath in me is desperate to soak up everyone’s emotion and ball my eyes out.
I keep trying to take deep breaths when the tears threatened.
The minister did a lovely job of allowing tears and laughter. She was a remarkable woman and I am so inspired by her love of travel. It sounded like she had travelled everywhere and I would have liked to have talked to her about that.
I don’t write this for anyone to say they are sorry for my loss as that is unfair to so many who were closer to her. A lovely lady lived a lovely life surrounded by a very loving family. That shone through today.
It was so nice to catch up with so many people that we don’t see often, even in those sad circumstances.
I’m not sure if I’ve written that properly but I know what I’m trying to say.
This is the message that I got from today and FB throws it right into my feed.
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
