Thank you Gigi, for your concern. I will try to go.
Yesterday I drove down to the place where the interment will take place: about 30 miles away, just to check the route.
The last time I came here was almost 40 years ago, when my father was cremated. I remembered the location but nothing at all about his ceremony.
I wandered around trying to find the plaque that we ordered, but perhaps it hasn't been put up yet. I couldn't find it. Instead I found a plaque in memory of the father of a friend of mine. I didn't know it was there, so it made the place feel more familiar.
It was calm and sunny and there were no other visitors except one woman sitting in a gladed area, and later another group of mourners at the far end of the gardens.
I felt sad but when I drove away, my spirits cleared considerably. Thank you for thinking of me. Love Deborah xx

Dear Gigi,
Just to let you now my thoughts are with you . I have only just read your post. Hope Eric is holding up there and hope you are too.I remember my mother in law saying when Dad got a bad chest infection, that although it was worse in someways she found her patience with him to be stronger because it was a more tangible illness than AZ and in those days there was no treatment for dementia was there?
Hang in there we are with you
Love and hugs
Jin
Thanks for your good wishes and 'yes' we did enjoy the meal and even reminisced a bit. Most of it was' me' remembering and John 'saying' that he did!!!!
My love to you
Jin
