...I'm a bit drunk so please excuse sloppy spelling/grammar etc!
Well, today is a beautiful sunny summers day in my part of the world, quite fitting because I've just returned from the funeral of one of my most summer loving party going friends.
Like Volksgirl said the other week, I didn't think (bar the odd poll question) that I'd ever post REALLY personal stuff on this board, and I hope I'm not taking the piss by doing so - but everyone else I'd talk to about this stuff is still at the wake and I had to come home at some point to look after my children!
As I've just said, I've been to a friends funeral - you really shouldn't have to attend the funeral of anyone of your own generation until you're well into your grey and wrinkly years, but life and death make strange choices between themselves.
Three weeks ago this friend, Martin, was in a car crash and sustained some pretty major injuries - head trauma and a punctured lung)BUT! He recovered so well, to the point where he was supposedly coming home this week. He died suddenly on Friday, the autopsy was unable to determine the cause of death and his family will have to wait until September when further analysis has been completed.
I'm not sure what I hope to achieve by posting this, but seeing as I talk to most of you nearly every day, I do consider you friends, and I just needed to vent!
Thanks for reading!
