No flowers, fair weather friends or God

Mum's funeral....family flowers only. 3rd anniversary of mums passing on 9th April 2022

Like many of her so called friends,
the fair weather, absent ones,
he too never visited,
never lent his ear or comforted her,
so we felt it only right he not come to the funeral either.

Always should be a remembrance of their life, how they lived it and not bowing to how others do it.
Sorry for your loss Gee. A wonderful piece remembering the person that made all you are.
No words can express it better, so I'll shut up now.

[Gee]

Hi Lorry, cheers. Good to see you back :). Mum popped her clogs on 08/04, been a weird old time

[Gee]

Hope you are well.

[Lorry]

Losing your mum does that to ya. They are the anchor that keeps family together. When they are gone, you again feel like a kid, wondering what we are meant to do now. Weird is apt.
I'm good, minus usual weather grumbles. I'm expecting to see an ark any day now.
Oh, and belated congrats on your lot winning that little tournament they were in. Premiership next? 😀

[gram linski]

totally agree, respect, fine words,

[Gee]

Cheers, not a religious word uttered, just as mum would've wanted.

rightous and yet stunningly beautiful. how did you do that?

[Gee]

I'm flattered you would say that. Have spent the last three months trying to sort out my emotions Ken.
Hope all is well with you.
Thank you

Not too long ago, on Facebook, a friend posted a rant about how she is NOT having a memorial service when she dies becuz she doesn't want anyone to come to her funeral if they could not find the time to be part of her life. I commented that I agree wholeheartedly, but why plan the end of your life in response to people who don't care about you? She jumped down my throat. I unfriended her. I do agree that it's totally hypocritical of so many people to cry alligator tears in death when they couldn't even reach out in life! I'm sorry there's so much pain associated with the end of your mum's life. I admire you for being able to express the things that are so crunchy (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Gee]

I like sharing crunchy. Far to many folk shy away from the realities of life and death.
Thank you Margie, hope all is well with you.

Been to three funerals in the last month. I can empathize with this feeling. But I will say of the three one in particular. The car is stretched for 3 miles in the train pulled up to the cemetery. Here was the life touch so many others

[Gee]

It is nice for the relatives, even nicer if all of those folk had visited whilst the deceased was living.
Cheers Tate, hope you are well on the way to recovery. Take care

[Tate Morgan]

Everyone was there throughout

[Kelly Scheppers]

The loss of a parent is monumental, there's just no other way to define it. I wish you peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead. Good to see you, Gordon. My best to you and your family.

[Gee]

Good morning Kelly, thank you :).
Belated birthday greetings....21 !!
Hope you are well :))

[Kelly Scheppers]

Yes!!...that's my story and I'm sticking to it! ; )

[Gee]

Well, I won't tell a soul :)

[Robert Trakofler]

Ouch just ducked that slug! know it wasn't for me but i was standing kinda close Just went thru this with my stepfathers brother funeral it was amazing all of the folks saying all of these nice things about him that haven't seen him in many many years and watching my stepfather clinch his fists while smiling and nodding back and seeing the look in his eyes of save me from across the room! Hang in there GEE!!!!!!!

[Gee]

Cheers Robert. Many folk roll up and tell you how good the passed one was but whilst alive they didn't bother their arses to visit. I think guilt drives them to attend funerals.
Hope all is well with you.

[Lydia Shutter]

This is a powerful punch, Gee. You are right. If people are not present during a lifetime, they need not be hypocritical and come to a funeral. No one wants to see them there. I feel your emotion in this. Lydi**

[Gee]

Aye, a few true friends are worth a thousand fairweather.
Thank you Lydia
