All Peggy's neighbours who attended her funeral ( me being by far the youngest ) were made to feel so special. We were all part of her life, even if only a little like me regularly chatting to her on our way to the village & her daughter was thankful for that.BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-87199583198170945892014-03-15T07:45:49.780+00:002014-03-15T07:45:49.780+00:00Yes, good that you went to both things, the reunio...Yes, good that you went to both things, the reunion with your friends and the funeral service.<br />Isn't it strange how unexpected small things "get" to us when it comes to emotions?

It's been a year since we all met up, but like true, good old friends, we bounded back into old conversations and old ways of behaving, even before the first sip of expensive beer passed our lips.</i><br /><br />It's amazing how quickly we fall into the old, familiar patterns.
