Hello everybody. Arrived home in Durham about an hour ago. Absolutely knackered. Everything went smoothly yesterday and Dad was given a lovely send off. His Mass was well attended and I was so proud of my 18 year old niece who did a reading for her beloved Grandpa. His coffin was carried by his two sons and four grandsons.
I may have said this before but being responsible, with my brother, for organising Dad's funeral has been the single most important thing I have ever done in my whole adult life.
Much alcohol flowed afterwards as was expected. There were tears and laughter in equal measures. I'm having a very early night tonight.
Thank you all for the kind words and support you have all offered on here. Very much appreciated x
