Our neighbour had a party earlier this year to celebrate his 80th birthday. He was very active locally and although about 30 people came, there were some people who couldn't make it and I know he was a little disappointed that he couldn't celebrate with all his friends.
Sadly, he passed away this month and his funeral was held yesterday. It was lovely and there must have been 60 people there. Naturally the majority were advancing in years and many said how they didn't go out much but wanted to make an effort because they thought so much of G
I understand that coming to a funeral is a mark of respect but couldn't help thinking that G would much have preferred them to have come to a party he was there to enjoy (he has no family left btw).
RIP G - we will miss you
Just read his back and I really don't want it to read as being critical of his friends - hope it makes sense.
