Took a good couple of days but it’s finally just sunk in that I’m never going to see old Aunty Marj again, bless her. Listening to my dad and his brothers talking about her yesterday was a quietly emotional thing. It’s amazing to think how much one person will have seen in those 97 years - how many lives she’ll have come into contact with and influenced in however big or...
