family goodbye's

I must really be careful in future to secure what I am typing,(re-previous blog good bye) Now I must see if I can remember it all again.
George, a brother in-law, sadly passed away, he had been suffering Cancer for sometime, he was'nt one to make a lot of fuss. George was age 74, born in the country, but later, like many before him left to live in Town, but he loved his garden and was his pride and joy, still a country boy at heart, he insisted on having "I'm just a Country Boy" played at his funeral.
Tears ofcause are natural, but when families meet there is a lot to catch up on especially when they have'nt met for a long time. Later, it was the young cousins who laughed, they rejoiced at seeing each other again remembering old times. Soon they thought it would be an idea not to let it be so long before they met again, and arranged a family reunion sometime in the Summer.

Sadly, not long after, another brother-in-law died, he was Malcolm, age 78, he had suffered a stoke for almost 5 years, eventually complications set in which caused his family much stress. His widow is my youngest sister, and a more devoted person you'd yet to find.
Bob and I saw the drained look on her face, she had nursed Malcolm at home, and although she had carers for half an hour early morn and bed time, it was she who was there for him the rest of the time. They lived far from us, so we could only phone, but met occasionlly in the year.
Once again we attended a Funeral, once again there were those sad, sad tears. My tears at having to leave her, even though her grown up children gave her strong support, they too would have to leave eventually. But would you beleive it , brought laughter to the house, and as cousins recalled old times, it showed life must go on.

good bye

I could really cry, I have only just half completed my blog and because I wanted to check up on my previous one it has dissapeared! no matter what I do, I cannot get it back.
