The Diary Game: 27-11-2021 /My Grandfather's funeral and My Best Friend's Wedding - I call it a Sunrise and Sunset.

Today marks the celebration of two important things in my family and myself. Today is the scheduled day for my grandfather's funeral and my very best friend's wedding. I call it sunrise and sunset because one moment is a joyful celebration (sunrise) whereas the other is full of sadness(sunset).

Early this morning, my family and I had to go to the place where the funeral takes place and arrange the place for the occasion. Actually, I misplaced my phone so I couldn't take pictures for you to see what happened earlier in the morning. But exactly 8:00 my phone was brought to me. We came back home and I bathed and went back again. I was asked to sit at the table and take monetary records.

At the table

I am not given the space to move around because of the number of people I have to attend to but this was where he was laid before he was sent to the cemetery

After the records are taken, we then give the books to them for them to announce.


The announcer

The Soldiers' band are around to play some music because one of his son's is a military officer so the soldiers are around playing their band.

Both the funeral and the wedding are in one community so I took permission from them to go and visit my friend at his wedding. I was in a funeral shirt so I didn't go too close to the place.
When I was getting close to the place, people were watching me because of the shirt I was wearing. I took two pictures there to share with you. I am very sorry for some of the pictures. They are not that clear.

As I speak with you, I am still at the table taking records. And I hope by 5:00pm everything will be over so that I will go and take a rest.

Thank you for your time.
