Good afternoon FS friends
.
So the date for John's memorial has been set. August 10th. His sons decided to have it just down the road from here. Perfect spot. The chapel/auditorium faces the Mighty Niagara River, has a fieldstone fireplace with a natural gas fire. Three elements that John loved..water,fire and stone.
The 3 sons and their families will stay here as they did the weekend prior to John's passing. Bittersweet as his absence will be felt. As an only child from a tiny family I'm not used to that many people around, let alone young children. John was the buffer when they were here. Suck it up buttercup. I can do this.
Odds are that once the memorial is done and the sons move on to their own lives again, I won't see them again. Have been quite busy going through the house and outbuilding to cull things that belonged to him so that they might take them away when they leave. The odd thing I'm keeping, like his favourite tie that he always wore when we attended formal events and it will go into my memory box along with a few other small mementos.
It's remarkable how lives become so interwoven. I went for my biannual mammogram today and remembered that 2 years ago he dropped me off, did some shopping and picked me up afterwards. Wasn't expecting that bit of memory to hit but it did. Sad.
Crying less, doing more, still have brain fog, but so it goes.
