It was my Nan's funeral yesterday, it was a lovely service and we went all out at the wake to celebrate her life, lots of people there, music, good food etc.
My dad and his brothers organised a balloon release, everyone wrote a message and attached it, and then we let them of together. It was such a beautiful sight and very emotional.
So last night I wrote on Twitter about said release and how Nan would've loved the music and celebrations.
I woke this morning to someone telling me off for littering and about how much wildlife would suffer because of it.
I got angry and wrote a response back, asking him politely to fuck off.
Were we being inreasonable to do this balloon release? I was thinking more of my poor nan and not any wildlife!
It's still very raw this morning, and it seems he targets anyone who writes balloon release in their tweets and gives them a lecture with no regards as to what the realease meant to the people who have done it.
