Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Funerals

Today’s funeral was my fourth in as many years - covering a relative on each side of the family, an ex-work colleague, and the parent of a friend – all elderly from the generation above; in these cases at least the value of the process is evident as the sadness and sombre mood ahead of the ceremony turns quickly afterwards by one of relief, bordering on gaiety, as closure is achieved, at least for the day.
