Final Goodbye

[ScotiaLass]

Well, it was a lovely send off for daddy this morning.
It made us laugh and cry in equal measure, and it was lovely to see family that I haven't seen for about 12 years (the last family wedding).
Thanks for all the good wishes and thoughts, they were a great comfort.

Sad to say most of us only see distant family at times like this ,weddings and funerals..shame but I guess we're all busy living our lives..
glad the day went as well as theses days can Laura..

Glad it made you laugh as well.

Death's just a transition really and the memories will always be there.

Chin up.

Glad it was a good send off. You'll never forget Laura. And that's as it should be.

I looked forward to Jamaican funerals as they invariably included a two day wake with lots of great food, music and celebrations of the life of the departed amongst friends and family. I've run out of close relatives and I'm increasing distant from the potential sources of further wakes. I miss the Jamaican take on death though I hope that my own will lead to a last hurrah for my offspring and my friends.

Funerals can be a bitter-sweet experience and I'm glad that your fathers was a good one.

I'm glad to hear it was a good'un, ScotiaLass - I thought of you this morning!

So glad that your Dad's send off went well. He'll alway be alive in your heart. You were in our thoughts today.

Glad it went well and you will have good memories of the day when you think back on it.

I'm about to head to bed after a fantastic evening with all my kids and grandkids, and a few beers, raised to daddy
Hopefully my head won't hurt too much tomorrow at Tai Chi!

Rest well.
