The last couple of weeks reminded me that men can be so different, yet collectively they can really step up and make a profound difference to those who shared their journeys.

A miner, a policeman, a KOSB soldier, a greenkeeper, a man who 'bathed' in Joop, and Mr Hibs!

All different in their own ways, all true characters, all fine men 🙏

A week of contrasts...

Monday's celebration of life was for a 93-year old Whitburn lady, Isa, who remembered witnessing the Cydebank blitz during her long and fulfilling life. ❤️

Yesterday's farewell, my 150th, was for Niv, a Craigshill legend, same age as myself. A young man taken far too soon, loved by the hundreds that came to say goodbye, and who leaves an unfillable void for his amazing family. 💔

And tomorrow, we say goodbye to a Dedridge woman, who was one of the first in West Lothian to adopt a child with special needs, a child who wasn't expected to reach his 1st birthday... yet thanks to Bobbie's TLC and love, her boy is now 42.

The human spirit can be so broken, and yet so resilient, in equal measures 🙏❤️🥃

One (of the many) rewards of this role, is listening to the music that families choose for their loved one’s final journey. Some familiar, sone not so.

I'd never heard this oldie before. Brilliant singer, and poignant lyrics, for a lady who lived her life with positivity, and a constant smile.

For Stella 🙏

An unexpected gift from a fine gentleman, for whom I offered a wee bit of advice and (hopefully) wisdom, as he begins his own journey as a Celebrant.

Thankyou Craig Stewart Independent Celebrant, totally unnecessary... but I'm afraid I'm going to have to discard your gift (one dram at a time! 🥃).

I'm no expert, and still relatively new to this role, however if anybody is considering becoming a Celebrant, then I'm more than happy to chat, and assist where I can. 📞
