So proud of my dad

[swedishmum]

It was my mum's funeral yesterday and my dad, a retired vicar, took it. Eve though I don't go to church I was so proud of the way he held it together and gave a funny and moving account of her life. The only time he nearly lost it was describing mum's dream about going to meet our baby who died at 24 hours. There were about 130 people there. I wasn't close to my parents in many ways but am just so proud of my dad - I can't imagine ever doing anything that brave.

sorry to hear about your mum but it's nice that your Dad did such a nice service and made you so proud...

Good on your dad. What a brave, lovely thing to do for your mum.

swedishmum - such a sad time but you are so right to be proud of your dad. It's amazing that he found the strength to do what he did. You sound like a very close family. Let's hope that your mum's dream will come true. x

Sounds like a great man.
So sorry for your loss.+

So sorry to hear about your Mum, and losing your baby too. Your Dad sounds lovely, and I hope you can draw some strength and comfort from one another xxx
