I am not sure how I feel. A relation has just died after a long illness I didn't him that well, but I know he was a very intelligent man who went his own way which seemed to annoy people for no good reason. I did get the feeling he would have been ok with me if I had ever gone down the road of transition and probably would have wanted to know why rather than come to his own conclusions. Somebody I wish I'd got to know better. There will be no funeral as he has left his body to medical science. I guess there will be one in about a year I think when his remains are cremated and the ashes returned to his family. Certainly makes me think what I should do for when I finally leave this mortal coil.
A sad day.
