Awww all the lovely pet pics as Avies now

just seen Feline and NN's

I was looking for something autumny, but it’s about time Bear got a turn.

Oh jeez - there's the big, beautiful cuddle monster!

Shall I do an avi of my Dolce?

[mavis cruet]

Yes please Vam, i love seeing other people's pets.

On the subject of funerals , i am glad your Uncle's funeral went 'well' Vicky xx

I agree that funerals can be a celebration of life, my Daughters went to the funeral of her friend who died at the age of 23 and his family very much wanted this, so had a christian funeral followed by a wake for the rest of the day full of his favourite music and so on, Daughter said it was very moving and special.

Edited to add that NN, your dog looks like a big cuddle monster! x

Thanks Vam, Hobs and Rice. x

It was a lovely service.

My Uncle and Aunt were great one's for the dancing and some of their favorite songs were played in the church and crematorium.

I think my Uncle J would have been pleased with the send off he was given.

That's lovely, Vic whilst always sad occasions for those of us left behind, funerals don't always have to be all doom and gloom. There should also be a celebration of the life that was lived too.

Lots of memories shared Vam and it was nice hearing the songs that meant so much to him and my aunt.

You wouldn't believe this for bad luck..

My Uncle was a Wood Machinist and got his hand trapped in a machine at work and lost two fingers and was off work for ages.

He went back to work and told his boss he would be starting back the following Monday.

While they're having a chat my Uncle had his hand resting on the window ledge and then BAM!!

It came down on his other hand and he lost two and a half fingers and that was him off again.

This is a photo of his Nibs last month.

We were out visiting, when a few bangers were set off and Jack legged it.

That's where i found him.

I don't really talk about personal stuff on here but at the end of the summer I went to my best friend's sons funeral, it was the most raw horrific experience of my life, I didn't think she was going to be able to get through it, but she did, he was 23 too coincidentally

the pain for her is ongoing, and my heart breaks for her every single day

No way, Vic! Shit, what are the odds of something like that happening?

Poor bloke...

Unimaginable. He was no age...

Sorry to read that HF x
Yes, it is hard to get your hard round coping with the death of your child, i am not sure if i could. The funeral my Daughter went to, the lad was also a twin, i keep thinking about that too.

@Vam, get a photo of Dolce up!

The funeral I attended on Tuesday was a humanist. Absolutely beautiful. So personal. A huge difference to the catholic one that barely mentioned my friends Dad. I’ve never attended a Church of Scotland one Vic, but my little brothers was CoE, and that was just a hymn, prayer, and then a lot of talking about him.
HF, my brother was a couple of years younger than that. She’ll find a way through. 4 years on and my parents are doing well. There’s still moments, but they are doing wonderfully.

it was sudden too, it's still not quite real

however she has guardianship of his son (her grandson) who is 2 (from before it happened), so she has a focus and something even better than memories


sorry to bring the thread down, it just seemed the right time to mention it

[HobbitFeet]

thank you everyone

don't call me a bitch but I don't want to talk about it any more

[Vam]

I've just zoomed Bear's picture up to max. God, she's a looker! Utterly gorgeous.

How can you say 'No!' to that face, Nic?

[Vam]

thank you everyone

Don't blame you.

Plus....Min....you know...? Don't want to freak the poor darlin out right now...
