We had the funeral on Friday. My gran deserved so much more. Maxi - my grandfather, sullied the whole process. He wanted to do the eulogy and when he stood up and gave it, said nothing about my gran, it was about the undertakers - he is so uncouth. He then walked out and when he came back in spoke so loud about the shit service and how long the priest was taking, that it was all shit. I ws getting so angry.
I stood arm and arm with my one cousing - Graham, we both had tears because we both were so close to my granny, we are 2 big softies, and we both knew she would have prefered us standing up and sharing our good times.
When we get her ashes we will take them to the same site as my uncle, and bury them next to him, we'll also put her name on a little plaque on the garden bench. We won't have the old man there.
All I wanted for my gran was for her to be free of that old man. she only found that freedom in death.
