I just like to say thanks, for your sympathy. My mum's death notice is in today's Saturday paper, and her funeral is next Thursday at Sandgate Cemetery. My brother, sister, and I, have to give a eulogy, and the celebrant-who's a Welshman-is giving two readings. We picked Nat King Cole's 'Unforgettable' for the end. I got the call from my sister saying she was called by the nursing home saying our mother was ailing. I got there about fifteen minutes after she died. The nursing staff fixed her up, did her hair, and put a flower from the garden in like a little bouquet around her head. It will take me awhile-if ever-to get over this.

I just like to say thanks to everybody. Unless you're a Vampire, this will happen to everyone. I had a funny dream about four days after my mum's death, where my father visited me and said it was "OK", and he pressed his forehead against mine, and I woke up from the dream with a start,and ever since-even though I'm still grieving-I'm feeling more at peace. I don't know if I imagined it, but it felt like someone clamped an electrode onto my forehead, pressed start, and zapped me.

Sounds like someone kind of did. (((((Cranky)))))
