It’s been a long day.

It’s been a long day, a three hundred and seventy odd miles round trip. Left home at 9am and 8.15pm return.

We lost a very dear friend in this last fortnight. Today was his funeral and we had to travel to Devon to attend. It was a long day, a sad day and also a celebration of our dear friends life. His coffin entered to Tina Turners Simply the best, we were invited to sing Westlife’s You lift me up and There is a green hill far away (Hymn) and after two very poignant eluegies he left us to Always look on the bright side of life. Which sums him up perfectly.

So that’s why I have not posted or hardly commented today it’s not that I am ignoring you guys I have just been otherwise involved. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow. Love to you all. I am so tired I am off to bed. Normal service resumes tomorrow.πŸ’œ

    I’m sorry for your loss Willow and can appreciate the journey. It was a round trip of over 500 miles to visit my Mum in Poole and we had to do that in a day.
    Rest up and give yourself time to recover from the trip. ❀ ❀ ❀

        It was 270 miles each way for a couple of hours or so with my Mum, precious time well spent, but a gruelling journey. My sister had no idea of distance or time as she’d never made the journey, yet expected us to visit frequently as if we were just round the corner. Ironically when we did live round the corner (7 miles) she never visited us once!

        I completely understand, families wear you out . We get it all to carry with Alan’s Mum though we are the furthest away. Bless you πŸ’œ

        I wish Bro were closer, but I’ll be calling him this weekend to touch base. I have little contact from OB and my sister now, which is OK with me anyway.

    Very sorrow for your loss. It is so sad. Funerals and eulogies are always moving, emotional and bring out a flood of tears. I bet you are tired physically and emotionally.

    Beautiful song and graphics.

    Funerals are very emotionally draining, Willow.

    I know. I have lost a number of really good friends over the years. It never gets easy just as losing a pet is never easy even if you have or get other ones. But we benefited from the time we did know and have them in our lives, all of them. Hugs and blessings, Anne always
