yesterday I attended the funeral of a friend.
Only he would have had the Travelling Wilburies 'End of the Line' playing as he was carried in.....
Only he would have had John Lennon's 'Imagine' playing as we reflected on his life.....
a perfect ceremony for a wonderful soul....
this poem below is what he requested to be read out as we walked from the chapel
THE THOUGHTS OF NANUSHKA
"to mourn too long for those we love is self - indulgent
but to honour their memory with a promise to live a little better for having known them, gives purpose to their life
and some reason for their death . ."

Such a lovely poem.
Thining of you at the moment, take care of yourself.

I have a poem on my website (on "Lise's Page" in the links on my opening page) that I want read at my funeral. Take a look when you have a moment. I find it very comforting.

I just love that poem, we should all live by those words but it's hard....
There is such truth to that poem. I hope your heart is healing and finding meaning Robyn, I can feel you're a little lost right now. I'm so sorry it's so hard.
What a lovely thought...
((hugs))
