having a sad morning so far. Feel very low because I think I dreamed about dad. I say think because the dream is very hazy and involves dad, grass snakes and chests of drawers.

{{{Keebo}}}
I've nothing profound to say. It's a time you survive, and that's about all that can be said about it. It gets less raw.

As the wonderful late Claire Rayner said "this, too, will pass".

horrible guilty conscience dreams...where dad is having a go at me for not engaging with mum enough. He never really raised his voice to me in life, he didn't have to, and I know he would not question what I do anyway. Even though I know it was only a dream it has got to me.

Well I saw him for the last time today and said my goodbyes. Tomorrow we will lay him to rest. I got a lock of his hair.
Lots of lovely cards and donations from all the people I wrote to.

Hey Keebo, I hope you can remember him at peace, as well as all the good memories from over the years. Which poems did you go for in the end? Hope all goes okay tomorrow (((Keebo)))

it all went very well. It was lovely. I managed to read One at rest and my daughter read the first one- think of me. Weather was lovely, lots of people came and paid their respects. We put roses from his garden on his coffin.
I've had a bottle of wine. I can't believe he's gone and that will hit hard later I think. He would have loved it.
Bye dad. xxx

Was much harder to go round my parents' house yesterday as I haven't changed anything so it still looks like he's just on holiday, papers on the sofa, medicine by the bed. Before I start I want to video it as it is and then again when it's all cleared.
