We drove the kids down to mum and dad's place for the day and then came back for the funeral. I was doing ok until one of Ben's cousins read out the following verse..
If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right to Heaven
And bring you home again.
I was sitting next to Bronny (who flew down from Townsville) and Mary (Ben's Mum) and that was it, we were all in tears. Then they lowered the coffin (it was at the Crematorium and I've only seen when the coffin goes behind the curtains) but this one went down and that really upset me to.
Uncle Wally did exceptionally well and we all went back to one of Ben's cousin's place for the wake - which was really nice, and Ben got to catch up with so many cousins etc who he hasn't seen for 20-30 years!!
We then drove back to the coast and had dinner at Mum and Dad's place and then we drove the kids home and got home about 8.30pm.
