My mum died in early March, and one of the tunes we picked for her was On Mother Kelly's Doorstep - the last tune in her service, and it worked surprisingly well, making us smile through the tears. My Dad wants something by the Goons. It does all make you think about your own mortality, and the tunes that you that you'd choose for yourself. I've decided I want an eighties themed club night with glitter ball and strobes.<br />SxMs Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449626572478125088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-84351818310554952062019-04-21T06:38:36.903+01:002019-04-21T06:38:36.903+01:00Oh.
