We're back in Wollongong after our stint in Sydney for Alan's funeral. There's no fun associated with any funeral but it was good to see Marilyn's family and the familiar faces we only see at such occasions. Everyone's older of course, and there were a number now depending upon wheelchairs or walkers. Marilyn was annoyed that I refused to take my folding walking stick 'just in case'. However I survived.
It was a good send-off. We found ourselves involved in the planning and, particularly the music. Anne particularly wanted Neil Diamond's Story of My Life and we suggested Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah as people came in and Time to Say Goodbye as they left.
We haven't found this trip easy one way and another. Perhaps it's time to say goodbye to travelling.
