My Dad

Well today is Monday 20th January 2014 and what you are about to read is a brief glimpse into a day in January 2011.It tells of my brief thoughts of the day of my fathers funeral

I am taking part in :

100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – Week#118

The idea is I have 100 words to tell you something related to the text in blue.

I showered and dressed as normal, but today is far from normal.

Today is the day that I will be wearing uncomfortable clothes, smart shoes , no jeans or trainers today.

Today there will be much loved music being played kind words said , prayers read songs sung.

Will I cry or not that does not matter , what matters is that today my children will be saying farewell to their much loved  “Beauty Grandad”

A day I dreaded coming, the final stage to the being parentless.

The cars pulled up and as I walked in slowly behind my Father

…it was just a sea of faces…

This is a tribute to My dad Robert Peter Elsdon.Dad and  Beauty Grandad .

… but there was still enough light…

Ok it's time to get up for the last time At Eden House, yes it's moving day.

Thirteen years have gone before and are now history 

Tomorrow is the future and today the present .

So here comes the van family are here , with keys in hand we do the first load.

Eight hours later we have one more load ,but there was still enough light will me make it before the night falls around us?

Phew boxes in the rooms furniture settled , what's for tea I heard my son ask.

No I have not cooked Fish and chips anyone?

So as you see that's what I am up to at the moment . The dreaded moving day is drawing close.

I say dread I am actually looking forward to it .i am sure you will see updates on my blog.

This is literally as my daughter in. Law said the last connection to the ex being severed , obviously I will never sever the children's connection .

Please pop and see
