It’s been a weird day lost 2 people in ma family they were both buried today at the same time in different parts of Edinburgh.
One was my sister’s father in law and the one I went to was ma Uncle Bill he got me into Rugby which I was more than decent he was a gentle giant had a trial with Man Utd at the time Danny McGrain was injured and discovered he had Diabetes as did Bill
So that was that for him but he still played on at Football then he discovered Rugby
As I said was a really decent man a good friend.
He had a brilliant turnout and was the first time I heard a crematorium rock with folk music which he loved and was a great singer Wild mountain thyme then the shoals o herring by the Corries and followed lastly by The Flower o Scotland.
Then we headed back to the Rugby club
And one of Bills pals went to the wrong Crematorium which was my sisters Father in law’s he was devestated but took the ribbing well. I couldn’t resist asking him when he was eating his sausage rolls if he was at the right Tea.
It’s when you read some of the posts on here that the memories drift back to happier times hate June lost ma da and September lost ma Mither.
So to all the lucky Noisers who still have their parents enjoy them hug them and if you’re not talking forgive them nothing in life is more importantly than family.
To My Ma And Da thanks. A grateful Son
