Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

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

My deepest sympathies , Anjelika.

This Sunday's Gospel should help you in your sad loss.

'If you love me you will keep my commandments.

I shall ask the Father and he will send you another Advocate to be with you forever, that Spirit of Truth whom the world can never receive since it neither sees nor knows him, BUT YOU KNOW HIM (my emphasis).'

I have lost both of my faithful parents, both Blues. I feel them with me everyday.
 
Sorting through belongings is a difficult task but can also stir memories of happy times. All the best.💙

Discovered today ( great great gandfather):

Born April 29th (one day before me), 1877 in Solvær, Norway. knew about the Norwegian background but not names or places etc...
