Mum and Dad

The organist librarian has a post about the double funeral which I regard as a major turning point in my life. I became head of the family. It was most fortunate that Bruce asked me to go to the funeral. Mum had insisted that we should not go and remember the happy times. I sang at the Prom of The Bells and the conductor Jurowski encouraged me to sing as he said the work was so suitable. We saw Mum 3 times." Your Dad has all the answers now, you will have to cope, this place Gordon is super, I won't need my paper tomorrow".The latter was very odd. Dad had made full preparations but we had not expected that the choir would want to be paid! However we carried out Dad's wishes. I played at the crematorium which meant that I only saw people very briefly but Ann stayed at CCSL. The undertaker started to take Mum out too early. It was supposed to be during Dad's march played by Peter Jewkes. In a way it was so Mum. "He's had his say I'm off to make the lunch!" Ann presented me with a 60th birthday album.
