Even if some of us decide to fall a sleep for ever. Like Emils Mother did, early this morníng. She was 88 years old and in a bit rusty shape, so to say, so I guess it was a good decision to say farewell in time, before she turned into a totally helpless wreck. Tuesday she had to go to hospital, because she hadn't eaten or drunk for 24 hours. She probably just had enough of this life on earth.
For us it was a day of rushing from here to there and organize and collect papers and hand out others and have a drink on Omas behalf and another one and another one and so on....... Emil skipped work today and we left home at 9 o'clock in t he morning and came back about 6 o'clock in the evening. Puh! Tomorrow evening we go to church, thedayaftertomorrow too and on tuesday evening we have the funeral. At 18.00. The first  "nightfuneral" ever, in Tannheim. It was the reverents idea. I good one! He meant, at that time, everybody is in church anyhow!so why not make it in one wash-up, so to say. All deads day, it is, I think. All saints day is the day before. Very Practical and probably very beautyful with all the candles on the graves.
So Emil and I didn't have any opportunity to enjoy the wonderful "springweather" today, but we will make another try tomorrow.
