you were right !!!

1 minute read time.

Well what can i say but yes you were all right,Dads funeral went smoothly, we cried lots and later we laughed loads,Dad would have enjoyed the day.                Now we have to start to get back to "normal",hubby and me are finding it a struggle not having to "do" things for Dad and seem to just sit there looking at the walls, so we went back to work yesterday,i found out what wonderful people i work with, there was big banners saying "welcome back Sue" the biggest bouquet of flowers i'v ever seen, they made my first day back lovely.             Then this morning it hit me again!!!!!,i hadnt got to rush back from work to "see" to Dad as i walked up the street tears were rolling down my face and i was thinking "dont really want to go home",but i knew i had too,so home i went,as i walked in, heart in my shoes there ....was another big bouquet of flowers waiting for me...another milestone to get over..its my birthday..and Dads not here, but as the morning gone on more flowers have arrived and text messages galore,so a very mixed day sad that Dads not here to share my day but happy and very very grateful to all the people i have in my life.xxxx

    Hi Suzie

    sorry, i missed this post yesterday so a belated happy birthday. I am glad that your dads funeral was as you hoped, and I know how hard it is when you find yourself with time on your hands and too much time to think! Be kind to yourself, you need time to heal and its a process of one step forward and two steps back, so just take it a day at a time. I wont lie, it isnt easy and there are days when you will feel like hiding under the duvet and not coming out, but on those days, everyone here willl be right with you.xx

    Thinking of you, love sharonxx
