I never imagined saying this.

1 minute read time.

I never imagined I would be pleased to register Peter's death, but I am, to have completed the paper trail and know My Peter can rest at last and that his funeral will go ahead on Friday as planned is comforting

Even better I have visited him this afternoon and he looks so young  relaxed, and peaceful, we had a long chat , well me bringing him up to speed on the events of the last 10 days, he never replied but then he often didn't, no matter as I knew that he was listening.

His hands warmed in mine as I held them, and dressed in my favorite blue shirt he took my breath away even death cannot change how handsome he is and always has been to me I could have just stayed there with him forever.

But having annoyed him by wailing at the unfairness of this. and weeping on his chest making the shirt that I had pressed so carefully for his journey, all wet. somehow I managed to stop crying and left him to rest.

I will visit again tomorrow and Thursday, then on Friday I must some how keep my promise to  tell the story of his life at his funeral. It will be a very difficult promise to keep, but I am proud he had confidence in me to do it.I know I will be standing before friends and family who will bear with me if I falter.

I have had  finger and hand prints taken so I can have silver jewelry made with them, for the girls and me.and I also took some lovely photo's of Peter  today.

Love and Thanks to you All for your replies messages and kind thoughts.

    I'm so happy that you are all sorted for Friday.  You sound so full of love and peace in your message, I really am pleased for you.  I found a lot of comfort in spending time with dad in the chapel and it was lovely, I held his hand and talked, I got a lot of comfort from that.  I hope you are too.

    I love the hand print idea, I wish I'd have thought of that.  So lovely.  I wrote to dad and put it in his pocket :).

    I hope Friday is a lovely day for you, I found dad's day was perfect.  It was so warm and comforting and I really felt like he was there with us.

    Take care, thinking of you xx

    Dear Mushty,

    when i lost my dad  it was his birthday the day we buried him, so  i wrote all my feelings down in his card and made sure he had it with him. 

    Strength to you and your family for Friday - I'm sure Peter would be very proud of you all

    love Lynnc

    Dear Mushty,

    Such a beautifully written post and a lovely idea to take prints. I don't think you will falter tomorrow but somehow find the strength from within and I am sure Peter will be helping you along the way.

    At my Dad's funeral my Mum and I spoke about his life and I had no idea if I would get through it or not but somehow we did. My Sister read out a poem she had wrote.

    Thinking of you and family for Friday,

    love Wease x
