A life well lived

Our dear guardians have travelled many hundreds of miles today, the saddest of journeys to say goodbye to a loved one for the last time. A small family funeral, a poignant eulogy full of shared remembrances and joyful laughter amidst the tears and sadness. It was a long life, enjoyed to its fullest for, nigh on all, of the nearly 89 years. "We are here for a good life, not a long life" correct in its sentiments, for the relative was fortunate indeed to have both.

At times like these, it is all the more important to return from ones responsibilities to ones small country estate, full of appreciation for the love of ones family and the comfort of home. My brother and I will give comfort to our weary travellers as they recover from the arduous journey. It is always such a joy to welcome them safely home.
