I just got back from the church. What an amazing service, we laughed, we cried, we truly saw the woman she was. Obviously I couldn't cry until after I'd sung but my singing teacher gave me some advice last night and I really listened to it and did what she said and it helped. It got me through.
'I am a singer, I'm here to perform.'
Probably the most heartless words I've ever heard myself say. But yer, I woke up and my throat had gotten worse
It'd been funking out since wednesday and just wasn't nice. When we rehearsed before the service it gave out on me and we were all worried but had to get on with it. Then the time came. We all stodd to perform and my voice came out as clear as anything. It was absolutely amazing how much difference the whole 'performance front' made to me.
As soon as we'd finished, of course I cried but I feel honoured and found some sort of peace in that she got the service she deserved. She was an amazing inspirational woman and will always be remembered.
R.I.P Eileen, We love you more than you know x.
