I had two emails waiting for me this morning. They both broke my heart...for different reasons.
The first was my beloved Mr A. and he had attached a photo - my jungle boy! but my beloved is having a spell of homesickness and my heart goes out to him. This has been a very hard few months. But the countdown is counting down so we are looking forward to August.
The second was from Liv in America. One of her dearest friends died unexpectedly, and she is heartbroken. I haven't been touched by death so to speak, and cannot imagine how she feels. Just the thought of losing someone close to me makes my stomach churn. I know it is not the best of thoughts but it is the only thing in life we can be sure of.
It got me thinking about my funeral....what would I want it to be like? If I could watch my own funeral I wouldn't want people to be sad....( but if no-one cried then I may be a bit pissed off!)...and I definitely don't want anyone to wear black....maybe a themed funeral? I can start a trend...? No? C'mon it would be fun! I think a would need a cocktail created in my honour....the Nolicoolatini maybe...? and cupcakes.....I am a cupcake kind of a girl, so I want those too.....
okay no more fantasy funerals.
Dear friend, we love you, and are so sorry that you lost your friend. be strong and enjoy making her scrapbook.
