Plague 18

So Mr BH reached the grand old age of 50 , hes not doing bad for someone who was given two years five years ago , his disability grows ever worse but his general health has improved in a lot of ways , sadly his weight hasnt, but at least it remains static. Now he got his wish of a pork pie instead of a birthday cake . And a chinese in a box from M&S which was far to much for two people , but he has shared it with our huge glutton of a hedgehog .
Mentally hes not in a great place at the moment it doesnt take much to set him off crying , the death of his dad has hit him hard on top of the fact that if he catches Corona its the end of him and he dwells on it . So yesterday was going quite well , hed had tons of calls from family and friends , ive spent days reminding everyone . Then i notice hes quietly sniveling, on asking it seems that his eldest daughter had contacted him on facebook and had a right go at him about grandads dying , why didnt he know what was happening how it had happened etc , why couldnt she go to the funeral etc etc . We are not organising the funeral we havent seen anyone to ask, all we know that because it is just an internment at the cemetery in the family plot that we didnt realise he had , only 5 people can attend , its just the 3 sons and his partner and her brother . No 1 daughter had gone online and it says 10 people can attend burials  so she and her tribe are planning on traveling from the other side of the country.  As i told him you cant cure stupid , let her get on with it  and make sure he stays at least a couple of meters away from her .   Due to his walking its a really bad idea him going anyway but i can understand him wanting to , so his brother is taking him hes been locked up as well as he has severe asthma so i think the chances of either of them catching anything off each other are very slim and theyre taking our car instead of travelling in the limo with the others .  Theres nothing worse than families at a stressful time

  1. Hugs Kate, funerals bring out the worst in people don't they. At my MIL's funeral there was a punch up.
