We did it!!

1 minute read time.

Yesterday we scattered my Dads ashes it was ok, i don't know what i expected tbh but just as we were doing it a nearby church bell started to chime....very fitting and kind of spooky as the time was 12.40pm.

As we were all staring at the river afterward though watching dad float down and out to the sea i looked at mom and saw she had taken off her wedding ring and as she kissed it i just shouted 'no mom don't' and she thew her ring in too!!!

I was horrified and kind of angry in a way but afterwards we went for a meal and she told us that she had done exactly what her and dad had discussed. It was what he had asked her to do!!

I feel very strange about that i could never dream of doing that but what can i say??

Afterwards we were walking back along the riverbank (where we have walked with dad 1000 times before) and mom, my brother, sister and i all had a snowball fight. It was fun and we all laughed so much it then turned to tears.

God knows what passers by must of thought of us lol !!!!!!
