The Wake

[coming42]

I have finally found a location that can accommodate my guests but they don't do food!. So, I am now desperately trying to find an outside caterer for the buffet - and it's the weekend...

I am exhausted...

For my mom's service, we ended up with an open invite for the church and family/friends at the mortuary. Mom was cremated, so no graveside service. Then we had a buffet and mom's favorite Mexican food restaurant for a select group.

I didn't know pubs were frequently closed on Mondays there. Here, restaurants sometimes are, it varies wildly. Our bars are not remotely comparable to your pubs, they exist only to get your drink on or to pick up potential bedmates and only close for legally-mandated hours.

I was going to say, "Can't someone help you?" but I see you found something.

I find all the planning wears a person out, but keeps them from thinking too much. Be sure you have some support when all the activity is passed. You will need it.

Well, I have my brother…

That sounds stressful, especially on top of everything else.

It may not be any consolation but I find your posts about your wife very moving. What a blessing this love must have been.

48 years married and not a day I didn’t love her more.
