Taken too early....

I mentioned last Sunday I got a call re a good friends wife sadly passed away due to the terrible disease cancer.

It was the funeral this morning so breaking with normal Saturday morning parkrun tradition, MrsT and I attended the funeral of Michelle.

Funerals are highly emotional and this was my first catholic funeral so found it ‘different’ but respect everyone’s beliefs and choices.

We attended the cemetery service after and was heartbreaking to see my good friend bury his wife of almost 35 years along with his two kids (not kids anymore and in mid twenties).

Back for the wake too and I must say there were so many people there which is a true reflection on how Michelle was loved, respected and touched people’s lives.

A very somber experience. My heart goes out to the family.

Afterwards, MrsT and I went to look at a new housing scheme close to us then picked up L, Granny and Grandad to look at another house on Bo’ness (just to see the layout) before enjoying a meal at the Park Bistro in Linlithgow.
