Bill, come see me when you wake up.
Look. I know you're worried about the eulogy. I meant what I said; I'm willing to do it instead if you think it's too much for you to bear. But if you're determined...
The thing is, I have something you should read. It's from Dad's journal, a private message to me. It's actually from the very last post he wrote, at the very end. Something he said about Mum. And the Burrow.
I think it was...very eloquent, really. And you might consider working it in to whatever you're writing.
But even if you don't use it for the eulogy, you should read it. I'm including Charlie on this message, because I think he would like it, too. I think it will help.
I'll copy it out for you, so you can look at it when you're awake again.

Date: 2012-12-23 06:22 pm (UTC)I think Bill feels it's his duty, but I've offered to help as well. We were going to meet up in our old room sometime today, him to work on it and me to help. I'm sure he'd be grateful if you wanted to be there, too -- I think between the two of us we can help him find the right words to describe all the things that
makemade Dad special. I'll grab you when we do. I don't know when he'll wake up from his nap.Meanwhile -- I need to go back up to the Reserve for a few hours to gather my things (my only pair of dress-robes are there). If you need to get out of the house as much as I need to get out of the house right now, would you like to come with me to help?
(I don't really need the help, so much as -- well, you know.)
