In a way it is another release, as my friend will now be able to have a life of his own again. But it is hard to lose a loved one, no matter how much of a burden looking after them is, and I'm struggling for words to write in the sympathy cards.

I hope your Aunt is okay.

Are there any family near who can help?

I'm the nearest! I think she has a few friends. I'm waiting for a reply from her, but it may not be for a few days- she will be busy with arrangements for the funeral.

Could not believe how busy it was, we normally avoid it like the plague on holiday weekends but when I'd arranged to meet up I'd forgot about it being a holiday Monday. Was good to see so many families out enjoying themselves though.
