The day before yesterday here in Kent, was a day of torrential rain but yesterday, the day I would be sending my husband Roy off with final farewells,was beautiful and bright. The whole day turned out just as I had planned for my wonderful husband who passed away recently on 19th July 2019 of CBD.
So many of the lovely people that he had known over the years were there, some who we hadn't seen for 40 years, which was amazing!
I wrote the eulogy/tribute and my eldest granddaughter read the poem that I had written and we celebrated his wonderful life and how many people he had touched in his lifetime.
The whole day was a mixture of heartfelt sadness and the joy of remembering who he was as a human being....
I would like to share the poem with you all....
He's in my heart
The light has faded through the window,
Leaving shadows and a worn out day,
I close my eyes and I can see him,
He is just a breath away.
He sits beside me on days like these,
He holds my hand when I am scared,
He's on the page of every book I read,
He is the wind that blows my hair.
How can I say that he is gone,
When he's in my heart and in my home,
And in everyone we've ever known.
He's in place we've ever been,
In every film we've ever seen,
He's in my every waking hour,
And in my dreams.
Oh, I know that he's still here,
I hear him whisper in my ear, "Be strong",
He's in every sad love song,
And I see him in my daughter and my son.
The light has faded through the window now,
Leaving shadows and a worn out day,
I close my eyes and I can see him,
And in my heart he'll always stay....
Love to you all
