Well its all over now. The funeral was yesterday. I was asked to give the eulogy based on my performance at my father's funeral which was odd because I couldn't remember a thing I'd said. It's hard to say no to a request like that so I wrote something up the night before and it seemed to go over well.

My fear of public speaking (and of reading my writing) didn't come to bear although there were a few moments where I couldn't read through the blur of unshed tears.

Some people asked for copies - of course it will be difficult to resist the urge to re-edit. My aunt said I could have a real future as a eulogizer. Frankly, I can't imagine a more depressing future.

I hope I haven't gotten myself a reputation because there's precious few people I would actually do that for, and I wish long life to them.

After the funeral, the family all went to an irish pub for lunch. Brett couldn't come with because he had to go to work at 3. Imagine my surprise when I got home and found a perfect little christmas tree alight on our dining table waiting for me. Could I have a more wonderful boyfriend? I think not.
