Sadly there seems like there are too many of us who have had to take our children to a funeral.

Blake went to my Dad'sfuneral when he was 4 months old. There was no way he was not going to his own grandfather's funeral - it was important to me for him to go and pay his 'respects' - as with all the grandchildren, and other kids present.

The thing I suggest you do is tee up a friend who can help look after Annika if you are needed to support your hubby. My best friend looked after Blake when I went up to read a eulogy.

Oh, I just noticed the funeral was this morning. I'm glad to hear it all went well - as well as expected for a funeral - and that Annika was perfect for you.
