Can't believe it's three years today since I conducted your funeral and nine years since my cancer surgery. Life makes no sense. You were my rock, with me every step of the way. My strength and my safe harbour, my shelter from the storm.
I hope you think I did okay. You had You'll Never Walk Alone, The Gaelic Blessing and The Red Hot Chilli Pipers Flower of Scotland and I read Robert Burns, A Honest Man.. and our family poem All Is Well and the Irish Blessing for Travellers . Everyone said it was beautiful. It has all broken my heart. Thank you for everything, then, now and always. I know I'll never walk alone and you will always be right there by my side holding my hand.
"Underneath the stars I met you,
Underneath the stars I left you
Go gently,
I'm here beneath the stars unending,
Underneath the stars I'm mending
Go gently
Underneath the stars befriending
Go gently,
Go gently"
Love Always, Dotxxx
