A Final Fairwell

Goodbye's are never the easiest thing. Hello's are so much better... Unfortunately goodbye's happen and we need to deal with them the best way we can.

To say that a funeral is hard would be a lie. A funeral is something different for every person. For some it is losing a friend, for others it is losing family and for the gay priest giving the service, it's his 9-5 job.

The time came yesterday at 11am to say fairwell to my much loved Nan. After shedding enough tears before hand, I felt I was prepared to keep a dry face throughout the service... Its funny how things hit you.

The ever falling snow didn't stop a moving service, a service filled with love and respect for a loving and kind person.

Funeral's force you to face a goodbye you never intended on saying and make you think about life. Life is something that a lot of the time we live with our eyes closed. We stumble along and hit bumps in the road that make us re-open them once more.

Open your eyes.

To live life to the full is to remember what you have learnt and keep learning and growing. A memory can make us smile forever, so keep forming new memories to form new smiles.

Forever in my heart.

I am so proud of the people I love.

and Miss Jeni Rodger... all my own words.
