countdown (sp: death)

Tomorrow afternoon is the funeral. It feels like being in limbo
waiting for it to happen. All the practical stuff was fixed up by the
weekend so there is now a vacuum. I went into work today but, even so,
it feels like a vacuum.
During the service I'll give a (very) short tribute to my mum and
introduce the song I want to use. It feels right but strange. It would
have never ocurred to me to do anything like that at my dad's funeral
in 1981. In fact there is virtually nothing that is the same as that
one.
I'll just be glad when it's over and I can crash out for a bit, unless
that's optimistic. I don't know what happens afterwards - everything
seems to be culminating on this event. It seems even odder to think
that everything will go back to normal again afterwards.
And I have a threatening sore throat. I hope that's just stress and
not a bug. I really don't want to feel physically bad tomorrow as
well.
Last night was Rosh Hashanna, a time of endings and beginnings. Very
appropriate, I guess.
