smirkingcati learned on the late night drive home from the train station that on saturday morning would be the funeral of my uncle
i was not only surprised (since i thought it would happen on tuesday or monday the earliest) but also because that bearly got me a chance for four hours of sleep... i must add i might have been a little bit pissed at my dad for telling me this late when the funeral was set since he knew since thursday...
the funeral itself was nice... loads of tears (not from me) and some very rude side-comments from ppl we didnt even know- one of them had the audacity to go to my grandfather and tell him to his face: "you never thought you would be the last living of the three brothers, did you?" i was like really going to hit her, just what are some ppl thinking?
my uncles kids and his wife for 45 years took it also really badly... but that also was to be expected
then later when we had the meal (its tradition called leichenschmaus- where the family is invited to eat - mostly in a restaurant) it was my uncles favorite food, and in the end we told us thinks we remembered about him and we spoke to parts of the family you never meet, because they are so far away that they arent usually invited
fact remains my grandfather is now the last remaining link between three lines of families, and when he dies the link will be gone... and no one said it, but the possibility of never meeting them again then will be very high... which is kind of sad but before that i hope my grandfather celebrates is 80th birthday and we will see them all again
tomorrow is the first day of my holiday
and i shall enjoy it and be with my cat and in the sun and have relaxing two weeks ahead of me
partly without pc but that too is alright with me and doesnt really bother me so much now tbh
because maybe a break is all i needed
thanks for lending me your strength through this troubled week- i really, really depended on your support and i'm glad for it
