Thank you

Thank you to all who have commented about the death of my Mum.  It is very kind of you and comforting when lifes highs and lows are shared.  The funeral is Jan 4th, Christmas and New Year have put everything behind.  After the funeral we have to start clearing the house, going through probate and then selling the house.  I suppose that is not going to happen quickly.  We survived Christmas but i am still very tired and at the moment i am still just reading journals but not commenting, i will get with it in the new year.

Was sad to read of the deaths in j'land, although i was not surprised at either one, but they were both so young.  It is easier to accept when people go in the right order, i.e. the people at the older end going first, but my condolences go to the families of both.

Happy New year to you all.

I have not written much lately i have been very busy and tired.  I have been reading journals now and again but haven't been commenting on many.  But unfortunately my Mum took ill on Saturday and died Tuesday so now i am in the throes of funeral arrangements as well as christmas.  It will probably be the new year before i get back to normal after the funeral January 4th, although then we start with probate and selling her house, but never mind it comes to us all.  She was 83 and had a bad heart for years so every day was a bonus, she had been on borrowed time for awhile.  She had gone blind in one eye and the other one was going fast as was her short term memory, i think this was her time to go and it was peaceful.

In case i don't get a chance, happy christmas and new year to you all.
