Thank you Bebop for your message. I spoke to my friend today, and unfortunately, he says he cannot put his feelings aside for that one day and would find it extremely difficult to see me with my partner and my partner supporting me... So it was either go with just my friend, or just my partner. I chose my partner. The whole time that I was stressing about who I should choose and why, I had already chosen my partner. Although we haven't been together long, I could hardly push away his offer of support and actually, if he was willing to support me now why shouldn't I take that?
So we'll be travelling down on Monday morning to attend the funeral. We'll attend the wake too, and then go back to my cousin's for some Auntie-Niece bonding time and to learn more about myself as a child, and my Mum.
I am not looking forward to the funeral, but I am looking forward to meeting the rest of my family. Very nervous about it, very anxious. But I have written Mum's eulogy and I will be buying flowers on Monday before the funeral - yellow roses and chrysanthemums, to put in with Mum when she is cremated.
It is less than a week to go and I have still not decided what to wear... Long dress, knee length dress, skirt suit, trousers. ?!?!?!?  It's awful that it's such a difficult choice to make...
