of a life of a Uncle with two lives in two marriages ... the current and the past ... the current with a service from all aspects of the life themed on Cherish the past with the former deceased spouses, and Cherish their time now at the wedding and cherish their future to come on from their second wedding ... bringing this in to the funeral service ...
It was all tactfully done with the life of time with his first wife to their respective children ... to the latter years ...
The intertwined years of the siblings and the cycle of life, when some have time after a spouse dies with another.
We heard a very poignant service with beautiful music personal and different for this generation modern and upbeat ...
And at the committal, this part for family only, we all laid a single bloom (some of us laid one for those missing) I put one down from my Mum, one from myself, on the dark coloured coffin. The last act of a blown kiss from myself ... The memory of catching up at his baby brothers (my Dad) funeral for the first time in years and twas to be the last time I would ever see him again ... a smile always on his face ... even when faced with the diagnosis of Dementia... and that forthcoming time in living with the cruel steal of a mind ... with many silly mishaps relayed to me from many conversations, easing the seriousness of such that come to some ...
He will now be flown back to Canada, to lay with his first wife ...
My Auntie paying extra for him to lay to rest in the frozen ground, it costs more to dig then, otherwise he would be waiting until May to be laid to rest ...
