Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law....Dear Jane<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I hope the funeral wasn't too sad. The other day I wrote a limerick for Katy Evans-Bush so I thought it only fair to compose one for you as well. Here it is:<br /><br />'There is a young poet named Jane<br /> Whose opinions are forthright and plain.<br /> Now we don't have to choose<br /> Between Camper Van Blues<br /> And boarding the Siberian train.'<br /><br />Best wishes from SimonPoetry Pleases!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16686247991180317838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16608180.post-3031300988856518422010-01-31T17:47:59.493+00:002010-01-31T17:47:59.493+00:00Jane, I've just read this now.

And we've both lost a parent before, so perhaps you go into it second time round knowing what to expect, the steps to take, how things are likely to pan out.<br /><br />These things are often more traumatic <i>after</i> the funeral, frankly. The same can be true of weddings, oddly!Jane Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590668593487445482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16608180.post-56338857484201466422010-01-18T10:51:30.154+00:002010-01-18T10:51:30.154+00:00I'm sorry to hear that.
