I know I’m desperately hoping the markets are on this weekend so I can buy one! I knew you had been moved by that funeral article when I first shared it – it’s funny that was long before Simon died.

In reply to Madoqua. I can't tell you how much it means to look out at the funeral and see so many people there to show you support and remember your loved one. Still on a high about finally winning a penalty shoot out.

I got some good advice from this post – thank you. I had never really thought much about the support a grieving family would get from those taking the time out to “go to the funeral”.

Big, big winners…..every year. I am talking about the Mums and Dads who shiver through all weathers for pure love and their gallant offspring who brave the elements to play winter sport. Getting a winning score helps too of course! Congratulations to parents and players!

I remember reading that article when you posted it – it filled me with so many overpowering emotions and I will always remember to go to the funeral. I’m sorry to hear about Alex – sending prayers across the world to all the families.

On a different note, YAY SOCCER FINALS! I know how good that feels. I played soccer for 9 years. (Did I ever tell you that? Left defender. I wasn’t any good, but eh.) Congratulations – and hopefully you can get a neck warmer before the next game 🙂
