Crossing a hurdle

Written Dec 30, 2022, tagged under post

Tom's funeral is today. It's something that we've all been dreading yet needing to happen. We have no idea how many people will be coming to Amersham Cemetery, but I'm guessing it will be a very large number: Tom was a lovely lad, full of life and loved by everyone who met him.

Yesterday and today we've been preparing, physically and psychologically. There was supposed to be some cooking last night to have something to nibble for the wake, but that didn't happen until this morning as in the evening I suddenly started feeling really unwell (hence the radio silence).

Right now we are in a state of limbo. There's nothing much else to do in preparation, and we're all too distracted to achieve much anyway. So we wait. I'll report back tomorrow on how it went.
