Yesterday I buried Phil, and now I am lost, I have no idea what I do next.
It was a lovely service, I managed to read a short poem, but the eulogy was too much for me, I am in awe of those of you who managed to stay so strong. My daughter wrote both the eulogy and a a poem to be read out, the poem is so good I am including it, I am so very proud of her, both of my children have been such strong support for me when their own hearts are breaking. The eulogy was also marvellous, now everyone has gone home, they took me out for a meal last night, after an exhausting day a lovely meal, a couple of large glasses of wine I slept much better than I thought I would, the sun shone for us and is still shining now, I miss him terribly but somehow I sort of feel at peace, just lost.
Goodnight Dad
If we had just one more minute, to say what we want to say
Buts its too late for all of that, you've had to go away
If we had just one more minute, or two or three or four
We'd tell you all those wonderful things we know we've said before
If we had just one more minute to take you by the hand
We'd lead you somewhere wonderful, super, grand
If we had just one more minute and you were in no pain
We would take you singing and dancing in the pouring rain
If we had just one more minute to sing and dance and play
We would do all these things with you any time night or day
If we had just one more minute, oh we wish you hadn't gone
We need you here, we want you here, but God has called you home
If we had just one more minute to hold you in our arms so tight
But now those minutes are gone and we have to say goodnight
My best wishes, love and hugs to all on TP and my thanks for all the help and support, and lovely messages posted for me. Sandra xxxx
