  I must admit to being a tad nervous with todays events but i need not have been because things couldn't have gone any better.......actually yes they could have because the weather was truly awful. Not really the weather for burying someone but what can you do. Waiting for things to get going, i was completely knocked for six when one of my uncles came up and shook me by the hand. He then gave me a figurine which was a great favorite of my grandads & its now in a prominent position on one of my units. Bear in mind this was the uncle who had previously been quite tactless in what he'd been saying.
  
  Stood at the graveside while the urn was lowered in & then i laid the flowers i had brought with me ( 2 white roses, 1 for each as it waa a joint grave with my nan ). I must say that i was made to feel very welcome & not once did i feel uncomfortable....which was good because this was the first time that ALL my dad's brothers & wives had seen me in the flesh, & it feels like they've understood who i am although i think it'll be a while before i'm fully accepted. Today was just the start in getting them to at least talk to me so they can kinda understand my feelings so things really only can get BETTER!!
