Farewell

Almost three months ago I blipped Waiting, and today we attended our aunt's funeral. She lived a full life, and passed peacefully early this week into the arms of her maker with her brothers and sisters by her side. She taught us to live a life of faith, and how to die with dignity. She was much loved by her family, and her very wide circle of friends. There is sadness that she is gone, there is relief that her four and a half year-long battle with cancer is over, there is joy that she is in a better place.

It has rained all day, sometimes torrentially, as you may be able to see in the ruffled surface of the pond, which is part of the crematorium where the funeral was held. But now there is the most beautiful pink and purple sunset.

Farewell OBE.
