It went as well as a funeral can and was held in a pretty Church in Fordingbridge Hampshire. There was only his Daughter, Grandaughter, my wife and myself, plus four carers from the home where he spent the last twelve years of his life at the ceremony, he had far outlived his friends and relatives.
We went back to the home and thanked all of them for looking after him, they had become his family and he theirs.
It was nice to meet my cousin unfortunately it was her Mother’s Funeral the last time we met and that was many years ago. The way I judge time now is that it speeds up as we age and now I am eighty-one it passes 81 times faster than when I was born.
In the first year of life, a day lasts forever.

I hope we can keep in contact more often even if it is through the Internet.
