Came back from my short walk this morning. DH has been busy and washed the hard floors nd has his music on. I put washing on the line, DH made coffee and here I am wasting time reading Gransnet and on comes Andrea Bocelli singing Time to say Goodbye. I am in bits

Always a woman by Billy Joel was in an advert soon after my husband died. I would hear it on the radio when going to work and it would set me off. Christmas carols in shops also did this for the first couple of years after my husband died.
When my Scottish father died, we had a piper who played the Skye Boat song. None of us liked the bagpipes but everyone was tearful.

I remember that song from the advert: it's quite sublime, and I had forgotten all about it.
Thank you Moira.

pollyperkins They sang 'One more step along the road I go' at my GS' funeral.

I wish they had edit on this website. I have 'funeral' on the brain at the moment. I should have said 'Christening'! Sorry!

Got my mind on a funeral we have to go to next week.

Oh Yorkshiregel what a relief that it was a Christening and not a funeral - I was just thinking how sad!
