That was the last time that they joined us all for Xmas! She has had a falling out with one of my sons and even though she knew it was probably dad's last Xmas we didn't see her or her husband. She is disappointed that this son has returned home for his grandfather's funeral.
      I don 't want to stir it but good on your Dad.

      After my Dad died people told Mum that I should sit at the head of the table, I told her not to talk rubbish, that was her place. Now if my BIL had tried to sit in Dad's place it would have been like piss off that's not your seat.

        Mmmm, she is unfortunately very jealous of me having a family and that my parents made a big fuss of us all arriving. She dropped out of college, had a failed engagement, didn't make the most of her musical talents etc etc. she is now neurotic and tries to take control of every situation. Four sons, three dogs and a husband mean that my life is not very controlled, actually it is probably best described as chaotic and survival of the fittest!

          Sounds as if she is even more screwed up than me...and that takes some doing.
          Of course it's eas to pass judgement from the outside looking in and now is probably not the time.

            At least son is home. He is shaken but safe. He now realises that Ibiza is not all fun and parties but has a black, dangerous side. He is staying home for now and reassessing his options, phew.
            Roll on next week ...... He and sister are at war; her comment was that it is a shame that he is home for the funeral! The potential for an almighty family meltdown is there but I am sure we will all be gentile and well behaved.

                Today is the funeral. Everything seems to be going ok .......
                One son has prepared order of service, another is doing a reading and two are pall bearers.

                The music is going to finish me, male voice choirs to start and end, an evocative Welsh solo for the committal and a Welsh rugby hymn.

                  I'll think of you to-day and say a wee prayer for your Dad.

                  Chin up and get through to-day, and remember if you want to howl, howl, it is most certainly allowed.

                              Well we got through everything. Boys were brilliant. Music was emotive. I was coping until my eldest started to do his reading (he'd previously read at his other grandfather's funeral) and he shed tears whilst reading. I have never seen him so upset.

                              What a horrible thought I'm now the oldest, other than distant elderly relatives. I don't feel that old and certainly don't behave that old, though I did let my husband down by not being as bad as he predicted!
