As the sun was setting on another day it had been a time of reflection.   This morning we would have liked to go to a funeral but instead watched online just as we had watched American friends attend a memorial service in Chicago on Monday.  Seven of the family had stayed with us over the years and I spent a couple of hours looking at photos and reflecting on the good times we had with them both in Britain and USA.   My own personal thoughts have been remembering my parents and especially Dad who died two years ago today and feeling so glad that he did not have to face the anxiety and loneliness that so many face in care homes having little contact with visitors now due to the pandemic.
