funeral Next Thursday

Hi, ffriends. Just to say, I posted something on my other thread, 'Bits that don't make me laugh ...' about my dad, who passed on last Sunday after a long illness. It does tie in a lot to this fforum as towards the end I helped him discover the TN books and they brought him a lot of enjoyment.

It also explains why I got a bit anally retentive (but only in the most humerous way!) when the mispeling vyrus got hold of the word 'diarrhoea' in another thread I posted to - that word was posted all over Dad's notes to begin with, and believe me, the wards at St Georges are PAPERED with dictionary pages ...

You know you have a ready-made support group here if you need it, J-S.

We may be scattered, but we can be close.

Lots of hugs.

I know how you are feeling. I'm going to my grandmother's funeral on Monday.

Sadly, I lost my dad before I met with Thursday Next, but I am so glad he was able to introduce me to Catch-22 and Shakespeare.

My kids are finding this hard to deal with - perhaps even more than I am, so I'm thinking of you Muse.

Who'd be a 'Suse,' Muse, eh?

I love the proximity of the words "anally retentive" and "diarrhoea" in this topic heading.

Sorry to hear about your loss though; my sympathies to all concerned.
