Monday was the day we said goodbye to my mum and she had the most wonderful send off in her long awaited coach and horses funeral.
Despite my faith and beliefs - LDS , it is still hard to believe that my mum has finally gone. At almost 99, I thought she was going to live forever! I do know that one day, we shall be reunited again and I shall be longing for that day.
En route to the funeral, I had a call from a friend to say that she had some sad news! She told me that my daughter's best friend from childhood had died! She died of MRSA and double pneumonia! It was a terrible shock. The young woman was just 38 and had 4 children!
It has been a sad week for our family but one of many happy memories too. It has brought home to me that we never know when our time is up and we need to make the most of it while we are here.
Hug your loved ones and be kind, for we all have our burdens to bear and need to be shown love.
Have a good weekend yourselves and stay warm,
