Day Forty Two - Peace and Quiet (catch up)

Today I'm Grateful for:-

Today I'm grateful for Peace and Quiet.

Yesterday Poss and her Mum and my Hubby asked me to write a poem for Uncle for his funeral on Friday...tomorrow!! As you all know, it takes more than 24 hours to write a specialised poem for someone you love. If my Hubby wants it though, he will get it. However last night, I tried to get started (while the boys drank...lots) and really didn't get very far.

So today the fellas have told me to stay home (at the holiday home we are renting for the few days we are here) and work on the poem. I think they know that I am pretty close to cracking, and want to keep me busy. As I told ex wife Ann tonight, if I don't keep part of me separate, and business-like, I will shatter, and I don't think anyone wants that right now. I need to keep it together until after the funeral. At least.

And so today I am working on the poem.(btw, it will take me until 2am, working full on to get it done to any degree of passibility.)

So the house is quiet, except for Uncle's favourite music playing in the background, bringing back lots of memories from when we were growing up together, and all those many years together in between.

By 2am, the poem is finished, everyone is in bed. Time for bed.

Thanks for the quiet time guys, I appreciate it.

Kisses
