My mother in law passed away very recently.
I guess I should say my ex mother in law,
weird really, I was saddened by it, weird
because she never liked me.
I was saddened by her passing in many ways.

My children have no nanny now, both are gone.
She was a great age 89, wow, had her faculities about her,
but was frail, she had cancer.

She passed peacefully with her sons and grandson about her,
she would have liked that.

Her funeral was nice, simple quiet dignified,
she would have like that too.

I was at it, not sure she would have like that?
but I went for my girls and for me,
for it has always been a regret of mine,
we didnt have a relationship, I tried for years,
then stopped trying and the little we had, ceased,
years before He left me.
What can you do, it was a shame, but what is is.

The afterwards, that is after the burial, there is in
Ireland a send off, jasus we do party for any reason.
So someone dies, young old doesnt matter, we have
a get together, in the pub usually, have some food,
and most people drink and say goodbye to their passed
loved one. I like the idea, I think it benefits the people
left behind.

This one was a bit strange, the ex's new girlfriend was there,
Now she is not whore, the one, the german bitch I still hate (no improvment there)
the one he had the affair with, so this poor woman, who god knows what bs he
has filled her with, she was there.
anyway, I found it stressful, but she did nothing wrong to me,
so I have no problem, I just really dont want anything to do with her
he introduced us, left her at our table and kept walking away to chat,
he is a total gobshite, but that is not news to me.
I have no desire to be friends with her, with him either for that matter,
Pay up Gerry we might improve on that one if you do,
otherwise forget it. (bitter there, cant help that )

The funny part of the afters was his aunt,
well I call her my aunt, I love her to bits,
since the day I met her she has been great, 85years old
feeling 22....
anyway, she spent the day glaring and being rude
to him and the woman, actually, I thought she was wrong,
and told her so, like I said that woman done nothing,
but Teenie, was having none of it. she tells me Im a fool,
and he is a disgrace, she is not wrong on either score I guess,
but again it is the way it is.

Life just gets stranger...
