Life Ends….Life Goes On

It it almost surreal to attend a funeral on a lovely sunny day.    Time almost stood still as everyone said their goodbye’s at the cemetery….the buzz of traffic was muted and the haze muted the view across the river.    Then, as we headed to the house, the buzz of life continued on.  People all around getting on with it.   Living.  Working. Playing.

Life goes on.

I will freely admit that  I did not mourn the passing of my mother in law.   But my heart is and was there for my husband, my kids, my brother in law and my mil’s poor mother, devastated at the loss of her child.

I was also glad that she had a good ‘send off.’  Many friends….our own, the brother’s, the gran and the mom’s …all attended.  All had kind things to say.  All showed their love and respect and our house if filled with cards and flowers.

Adam broke our hearts.   He stood and touched the casket.  Said his own good bye’s.   During the moment of silence he told me that he was holding the memory of his nana sitting beside the coffee table with him, playing trucks.   Our boy.

So now life goes on.  There are estate issues to deal with.  A house filled with memories to deal with.  A little old lady who needs taking care off.  And two men who lost their mom AND dad to help heal.

Life will trundle on.
