How sad that the remnants of a life can be cleared away so quickly.

How sad that it can take less than a week to seem as if you were never here

ChippyMinton · 01/05/2007 14:38

sounds callous and odd (but maybe there were reasons behind the daughter's actions?)

Shame.
There so many lonley elderly people out there.
How sad for her. At least you and your mindees will remeber her.

So sad, but you just don't know what the family circumstances are. I hope you can go to the funeral service, it might help you. So sorry.

I have to wonder whether there's another side to those facts

like how do you know she wouldn't get back on Saturday ?

dmo · 01/05/2007 14:47

dont think i can go to the funeral as i have mindees but i will walk pass with mindees to show our respect

your right i dont know the circumstances of their relationship but its sad all she talked about was her dd and grandson (who is 18)

It sounds like you had a nice relationship with her, with time to chat and I am sure you added to the happiness in her life while her family were away. Thinking of you for Friday.

DeviousDaffodil · 01/05/2007 14:54

dmo - how is that little boy you were concerned about?

so sad that a life can be removed so quickly
