Hi all, as most of you know I went to Wales last week to our caravan to see my Dad who I haven't seen since Mark's funeral in December, and to scatter Mark's ashes on the beach at night where he loved to night fish. I was very apprehensive about going as it was the first time without him but it was lovely, strange without him but we had a lovely time. My Dad was so pleased to see me looking so well (fat!) He broke his 'no hug' rule straight away. I found it very peaceful and felt much 'lighter', hasn't lasted, as feeling a little low now I'm home and back to 'normal. We all agreed where and when we would scatter Mark but on the way my Son (18) started making comments about how he couldn't see the point and if it was me, he wouldn't leave me there on my own. So we stopped and had a chat and I decided that he obviously wasn't ready so Mark has come home with us! Apparently when our elderly dog goes it's ok to scatter them together as they won't be alone! So for now he is back on his bedside table! Ali x
What a lovely thought from your son 
if your dog is getting on a bit (meant in the nicest way)that's a good idea!! Pleased your dad is a rule breaker xx
