Today's privilege saw some firsts for me...

My first service that took place in a family's home, a beautiful cottage where an amazing lady, Grace, made her family home for over 60 years. Aged 98, Grace was the oldest person I've led a service for.❤️

Then, my first graveside committal at Kirknewton Cemetery, where Grace now rests beside her husband of 60 years, Bill. 🙏

Even had some curious, hairy onlookers observing from the field beside the cemetery...

This Mother's Day, whilst I thank my Claire for raising our son Hamish so wonderfully, I will spare a thought for all those who have said goodbye to their beloved mums in the last year, for whom today is another 'first', in a year of emotional anniversaries.

And especially for my colleague Jamie, who's mum Susan passed yesterday.

For those that have lost, hopefully you can find comfort, and peace, in the cherished memories that they gave to you, just as I do with my own dear mum Janet, on what would've been her 82nd birthday

Six weeks ago, I humbly led a celebration of life for a gentleman who served as a Paratrooper, as a member of the SAS, and more poignantly to myself, 'The Colonel' served at Bathgate Fire Station for 24 years. 🚒

Today, I joined with his family once more, as we said farewell to Ian's wonderful wee wife of over six decades, Pat.🙏

And as if their fine family couldn't get any better in my eyes, they gifted me a unique mug that belonged to Ian, and which will spend the remainder of IT’S career, at Livingston Fire Station.

Tonight, I'll raise a 'pint' of coffee, to Ian & Pat. ☕️❤️

Just over a year ago, I was honoured to lead a service for a wonderful woman, Annie Inglis.

Today, for my first service of 2025, I was asked by Annie's daughters to lead the service for their beloved dad, Kenny.

Two beautiful souls, apart for a year, together again in spirit. 🙏❤️🥃

And a lovely, gift from Roz, Laura, and Nicola (The Bairn), from their dad's whisky collection, (which I admit almost had me going🥲).

Tonight, in choosing my late stepdad's dram of choice, I raise a wee Balvenie to Al, to my Aunt Eleanor, and to the many amazing souls, for whom I had the honour of leading their farewell ceremonies in 2024.

To all the amazing people, from the best families... thankyou for letting me play a small part at the end of your loved one’s journey, and I wish you peace, and reflection, in 2025
🥃❤️🙏
