Rest in peace

We were up early for our drive up north for my step-fathers funeral.  The first part was slow going and we did have to stop but arrived in plenty of time. 

The funeral was to be in a natural burial ground and it was a nice setting.  We had a family service where my mum did a reading and I shared memories of John.  It was very calm and we were a small group of 8.  It was what my mum and John wanted.

We had a meal together and then Rich and I set off home, we wanted to get back before the storm arrived and just about did.


In sunshine and in rain,
In the stillness and the breeze,
Amidst the spring flowers and the birdsong.
Rest in peace.
