Mixed bag

[artme]

Bit of a mixed bag for the family this week.

Had news yesterday that a cousin I had met for the first time at an aunty's funeral 3 weeks ago had died due to an aneurism.

And today my sister, three brothers and I , along with wives, celebrated mum's 89th birthday in Ballina. A happy sad time in some respects as mum has dementia/Alzheimers and needs high care. She was very happy to see us all, so that was great.

Sorry to hear of your mum.

Sounds like my time 2 years ago Arthur 4 deaths in the family all with in 4 months, 2 new grand children around the same period, a daughters wedding then me and heart. Now looking ahead to a 4th grandchild due February.

Great friends made from this forum

Thanks Wheelin!

All makes you think about your own mortality.

As someone remarked at the aunty's funeral, we only seem to get together to give someone a final send off. Bit sad really.
