“Let me put it this way. I don’t expect there to be many people at my funeral.”
My new friend said this to me as we talked about her imminent 90th birthday. It came in response to a simple question — "How has your week been?"
Hers had been quiet, with jigsaws, gardening and ’keeping herself busy.' She hadn’t seen many people, but that wasn’t unusual, which led to her make that comment. It went deep into my heart.
