About as well as can be expected.
I've driven about 500 miles in less than a week, I have a cold, and I've just sorted out funeral arrangements. Peachy.

Tourettes FB's me and mentioned your emergency return trip to Berwick. Not what you needed.

No...
Fortunately when I got back I crashed for nearly 3 hours, and then got a solid 13 hours kip later that night, which did me a power of good.

Ta. It was my Dad.
He's been ill for a while. Funeral's on Thursday. Loud shirts and odd socks are the order of the day so it's not going to be miserable!

celebrate the life, good for you
last funeral I attended, was a non-stop laugh from start to finish, sounds weird but that was the way he would have liked it

My dad wasn't the type to be morose, thankfully.
The family have been raiding his wardrobe for suitably loud shirts. Thankfully I have plenty of my own. We're marching into the church to War of the Worlds and coming out to Fleetwood Mac's 'Don't Stop'. Then getting pissed. Should be a good day.

He packed more into 66 years
than many people who live 20 years longer manage to. that's not bad.

Yeah,
I had similar, we knew it was on the cards, but were given a fairly long time scale, got all of 3 days. Bit of a shock, made it harder, felt it was unfair.
