Well good morning dearest hearts. It has been a difficult few months for the Mr and I. I don't want to go into too much detail but suffice it to say both of my lovely parent in-laws have passed away within four weeks of each other. As they would have wanted it, neither could have born to be without the other.
I wondered whether it was appropriate to mention this on my little blog but in the end it is such a great thing I feel it needed to be said. It is a big event in our lives and surely the blog world should have some realism in it, after all not everything in our lives is joyous. Having said that we will of course be celebrating their long and happy lives, married for nearly 60years, in a now joint funeral.
We are on the cusp of Autumn now, already the leaves are golden and some are falling from our trees. I have been busy harvesting as much as I can. And Morgana has been making the most of her catnip plant.
I am so sorry for your loss. A double funeral is a wonderful thing. Our neighbours, parents of our son's friend, died within weeks of each other and had a double funeral. Gill told her son she was looking forward to going down the aisle again with her husband, after more than sixty years of marriage.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely way to look at it, thank you.
DeleteI was sorry to read about your parents in law, but as you say they didn't want to be without one another and 60 years together is tremendous. You can celebrate their lives and have lovely memories of them both. Xx
ReplyDeleteYes we will. Thank you Gill.
