The fairy tale.

Pat and peter were childhood friends it wasn’t until Pete was on leave from the navy that he made his affection know. And that’s were there fairy tale began.

Pete wrote to his beloved wife regularly and sending her gifts ever time he visited a new place. Pat was sentimental and everything was for keeps.  as pats body departs this world  today she meets her beloved husband in the dress he send her when on his travel.

pat had a unique bond with her husband always knowing when he was returning  on  leave, she continued this bond with her children always knowing things fist and knowing when they needed her  some times is was if she was able to feel what they felt.

Pat and Pete was fantastic parents  completing each  other  pat was well known for being independent head strong  and very stubborn, characteristic which she kept right until her passing and traits  which she has passed on to her children making sure they   fought  for what they believed in.

Pat was a passionate woman and always spoke proudly of her children and grandchildren.  She taught her children to love and to live and never except second best. She had all the right advice from cooking instruction to matters of the hart there wasn’t much she didn’t no.

As all three children started moving out and becoming independent pat and Pete rekindled the romance   and did a bit of travelling pete took pat to some of the destinations   he had visited in the navy. Living the high life cursing the ocean where pete felt at home.

Sadly the fairytale ended and pete  took leave from the world. Pat being pat held the family together and remained strong. As the year passed and the pain eased pat started to travel again visiting places her and Pete had talked about egpt and maylsia being a few. Pat also returned to college and in her 60 received qualification in IT.

Pat ensured her husband still lived  on in her family heart and often relived  the memories they had made making sure  her  children  could laugh at the good times. As well as remembering the sad times.

 However as we all know farytales have a happy ending and pete could no longer wait for his beloved wife he came to earth to take her hand and im sure if you look harder enough you will see them dancing on a cloud above.

Rest  in  peace pat your be dearly  missed .
