Its almost a week now since Great Aunt Caroline went home to Godde. Ive done the usual thing and gotten angry immediately. Murf said "you must feel sad" and oddly enough I don't feel sad as such, just cold. Weird I know.
I'm flying out to her funeral in Booleroo Centre in S.A. tomorrow at 6am. Leaving the car at the airport over night and flying back at 6am Friday. Just to add a bit of excitement to the whole process I lost my cards (Drivers License, ATMS ect) yesterday. Need the License to hire the car don't I. Need the cards for proof of ID for the License don't I............................any way to cut a long story short the cards were waiting patiently for me at home on the bench while I cancelled them at work.
Ive spoken to the funeral director and he is going to let me see her, which is going to be wonderful just one last time to look on the face I love.
Ive prepared a little ceremony for her and as I read out the stuff below I will throw the little pink cards into her grave. oh and fling some holy water around as well. To do this im going to ask Theresa to hold my spiritual hand during this part.
Beloved Auntie Carrie
This is the last family event you and I will attend together. I call for many blessing upon you
Whos Heart is big enough to hold 6 generations safely
Come Holy Dove, Cover with loveWhos spirit lights my path

Come Holy Dove, Cover with love
Who Trusted me to guide you through the bush
Come Holy Dove, Cover with love
Your name is written in my heart and I will always remember you.
