Until We Meet Again, Dad.... I Will Love You For Ever And Always
Hi Everyone
This is just a short update to say that i just got home after going to my dads funeral today and that I am '' ok '' as much as ok can be in these circumstances. There were a large amount of family and friends there and it was the first ever funeral I have been to. I along with my 3 brother in laws carried my dad's coffin into the chapel... I was shocked as to how heavy it was and that coupled with the fact I was weak from sadness and trying to stay strong... I didnt think I was going to be able to make it all the way ....but the determination and wanting to carry him got us there. My dad was cremated and two of my sisters read out the words that we had written in memory of my dad...and were very strong in doing so...I know I would never have been able to have read any of them out... He had loads of flowers but also alot of people have given my mum a cheque which we asked them to do....and we will then be donating the money from those to the Intensive Care Unit where my dad spent much of the past 5 1/2 months...and who did all they could to try and save him. Apart from a couple of them....the flowers are all being taken to a local church. On Monday my family will be burying my dads ashes in a plot of land and it will be a place where we can go to visit my dad whenever we want too... especially of course on his birthday ..fathers day...and Christmas. I am going to my sisters tomorrow evening and be home Sunday ..then to my mums and to bury the ashes on Monday. I may get to update Sunday but if not will either Monday night or Tuesday and it will be from then on that I will hopefully be on much more often. Until next time tho....Nite just for now
