Life Goes On

My Mother-in-Law, Mary, died last week, after a short but painful battle with cancer. She had a good life, with the usual happiness and sadness that we all experience but at 88 was ready to go. It'll be a sad week as she will be buried on Wednesday and unfortunately there is another family funeral on Tuesday. This poem by Joyce Grenfell pretty much sums up what she would have said to us given the chance, so I'm including it here in her memory :)

Life Goes On

If I should go before the rest of you

Break not a flower

Nor inscribe a stone.

Nor when I am gone

Speak in a Sunday voice

But be the usual selves

That I have known.

Weep if you must

Parting is hell

But life goes on

So .... sing as well
