This past weekend was my grandma's funeral. It was beautiful and it had our family's own touch to it. We did the funeral exactly how grandma did her mother's funeral starting with a church ceremony with about 80 people, with several great psalms and one especially, which was one of grandma's favourites "Härlig är Jorden" which my cousin sang a solo of the first verse (so amazing that she could do it). This was followed by everyone following the casket to the grave and saying our goodbyes there with heaps of beautiful flowers. Everyone got to say their goodbyes individually and then we went to the church house for coffee and cake with several great speeches discussing memories of grandma. Later about 40 people gathered at my grandparents house with great food, wine, spending time with the family and more speeches with memories.
I'm not a great fan of doing speeches so I made a video instead, in memory of my grandma. I put it on in the room next to the dining room and did a few shows. It made me so happy that a lot of people appreciated it (especially my grandpa) because I was unsure at first if it would be too sensitive. But I'd like to think that we should celebrate her life because that is what she would have wanted. So I put a couple of her favourite songs in the video below that are more happy songs. I will never forget this wonderful woman!
