The wait will feel like forever.
I went to my mate's granddad funeral a little while ago. I should have given a wee speach as our families were really close. Kinda regret not saying a few words now

If his funeral is a week on Monday it will be over 2 weeks since he died
His wife and Dad are going to Brasil on Monday now...
I really want to say something at his funeral but TBH I don't know if I could do it...

R.I.P For your mate.
and I hope you have a mega year next year Mav, because you have had a disater when it comes to cars etc... I hope everything goes well for the funeral also...
Anyone can talk at the funeral mate, and i think his Wife would be nuts not to let you, he was a life long friend..

Scotts body was meant to be home and funeral on Saturday at 11am..
BUT....when they took him to airport in Brasil there was one bit of paperwork missing so all held up and can't have funeral till middle of next week
No airlines in Britain will fly the coffin from London so he is being driven up by a london funeral director when he arrives in london to Scotalnd..Now thats a 8-9hr drive
What a mess

Thats fait for you m8, i lost 3 friends in a crash at 55mph, they were coming down the A1 in the pissing down of rain, pitch black it was and they were taking an exit but they had a blow out or something, lost control and went into a layby. Unfortunately there was a Lorry parked in the layby with no lights on it and they hit it side on. All 3 died and they were supposed to be picking another m8 up that night but he had decided to stay in with his girlfriend that night otherwise he would have died also.

Yeah they don't think about the family, it's a piece of paperwork that the funeral director over there didn't even know about
