Good News & Bad News

On the 3rd of August 2005, one of my aunts living in Australia passed away. I was at her bedside, along with other members of the family as she slipped away. Thankfully she did not suffer. In between her death and the funeral, I went away on holiday to the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland. Although I felt guilty for enjoying myself, the trip had been a long standing arrangement and family members told be to go on the holiday and enjoy myself. My aunt would have wanted me to enjoy myself, but she was never far from my thoughts over the weekend and I was felt very honoured to escort her coffin out of the church at the end of her funeral.
