Today it is nine weeks since Doug passed away and tomorrow would have been his 53rd birthday. I have bought him a card because it felt right to do so. I shall sit by the olive tree in the garden planted in his memory and I plan to scatter some of his ashes around the tree, have a coffee and hopefully the sun will shine.
None of his family have been in touch and I dont expect them to, they hardly bothered with him when he was here except for right at the end and they sure dont bother with me. My own two girls will be here and we are planning to watch one of his favourite films on dvd and have a take away evening.
My dads funereal was last Wednesday and to be honest it went well as they say, I am so zoned out at the moment I am never sure who I am crying for, Doug, dad or myself or all three!

What a lovely plan to mark the day. I hope that you found some peace amid your tears. xx
