I will remember you.....
Yesterday we laid my dad to rest. It had snowed all day and as we went to the church for the ceremony it had stopped snowing.
It was a beautiful ceremony and if he was here with us he would make a comment about all these flowers for him and he would surely make a comment that we had spend too much money on him. I managed pretty well through the ceremony in church but at the end a friend of the family played Amazing Grace on flute and then the men came to carry his coffin out of the church I couldn't keep it locked inside so I cried so much. The snow had started to fall again as we followed my dad to his final resting place. I had to hold my mum up as we stood there by his grave preparing to say goodbye. I whispered Goodbye, dad, I love you as I laid a rose on his coffin.
Afterward it felt like a stone was lifted.
I know in my heart that he is with us all. I can feel his presence everywhere, hear his voice and feel his hand in mine.
He is smiling down on us now and one day I will see him again.
