We said goodbye to my dads uncle yesterday. He was 84 and had not been well for some time. Whilst it was a sad occasion, it brought our family together in a way that has not been seen for a very long time. The wake was a really enjoyable occasion, cousins who haven't seen or spoken to each other in over 20 years were having a really good catch up. I don't think any of us wanted to leave. Uncle John would have been chuffed to bits that he had managed to get everyone under one roof again.
And thank heavens for smart phones. I managed to get a photo identified
