All the visitors have gone now and there is just me at home with my little dog 'Jack'. For the moment I am pleased for the solitude. My laddo's funeral was yesterday and it was very special albeit not the most usual of services - but you will have come to expect something not quite usual from my laddo and me. It was conducted by an interfaith minister. A very special time was when we all lit tea-light candles and placed them around his coffin whilst a modern version of Ave Maria played. We went out to Dvorak's New World Symphony - Largo - the Hovis Bread tune! I still marvel at my laddo's strength of mind and his decision not to go to hospital for his final days and, in so doing, made those few days so special for us both - at least I hope they were as special for him as they were for me.
