Reflective

Today is a quiet one at Chez Q.  Mum worked last night and worked this morning.  This afternoon, she went to a funeral.  The son of one of her friends died last week aged 16 after being sick for a year.  It was a sad funeral, but full of friends and family.  It puts all your little worries in perspective and makes you grateful for each day.

    Oh, goodness. So sorry about your friend's son. So sad to have life end at such a young age. It truly does remind you to live each day as none of us knows the day or the hour.

    Oh, Poppy, we're so sorry about the son of your mom's friend. So sad. Yes, it does give a different perspective on things, doesn't it?

    Purrs to this boy's family, as they grieve.

    Only sixteen. That's terrible; so much potential for love and joy gone. I'm sorry for your mum's friends, Poppy.
