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.
