Hi Sarah
All ok looking at his chair and he's not there. This is the hardest part sorting out what pennies you can claim for and it takes too long. Picking up ashes Monday. Shall be glad to have him home. Know what I am doing with them . Thank you for asking but all is going ok I think x
Someone asked me if I didn't feel strange having his ashes in a box right there on the table and I can't quite understand why I would. Hmmm, but maybe I would have thought the same before I had gone through it all. Is it odd? Maybe I should put them away before I have company in? His family isn't gathering to scatter the ashes until September. Meanwhile, the box stays with me.
I don't think it's odd at all~I've been living with a box for 20 years😄 It's not on the table, tho🙂 It's in the closet with all the photos and a bag of dried roses. They can stay right here forever---not odd at all.
I so know how you feel Sarah.....In fact that was one of the first things I had to "retire" when he died....It had seen better days anyway and without him in it....My loves ashes are on in the box they came in the living room.....and though they were more intended for freedom during hikes and the like...I have yet to find the energy..... I hope you are doing ok ....

Don't know if this means much to you but Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie just came on.....
My darling was with me for 6 months before the family could all get together to scatter his ashes in his favourite park. Before that however, I did scatter some over the place in the garden where our gorgeous dog's ashes are and some amongst the bluebells in the wood opposite me. I kept some back to be scattered at his favourite NT garden. This will be soon as I have folk staying in my house while I'm on holiday and don't want them to find him. He will then be in 3 places I visit often and my garden. All places he loved going to.
