Re: RIP dad
So sorry to hear about your dad. You are so lucky to have all your good memories, those won't die. Tears and smiles will get all mixed up if you're anything like me.

Re: RIP dad
Dad is having a secular service on 29th Nov. So now I'm going to be busy booking flights etc - may be absent from the site or only sporadic for a while.
Daughter lit a candle at the school chapel - her way of coping, even though daddy was an athiest who would have liked to be put up a tree for the birds to eat, like the red indians do. Not sure what will happen to his ashes - he loved the sun and the sea, so sister may scatter them, or plant a tree.

My family are believers but not what I'd call actively religious, although in later years became more so and the girls got christened late. I can't remember anybody being buried since one of my Nanas in the early 80s but my Mum (apparently) decided she wanted to be, and it seems to help my sister and nieces tohave somewhere to go pay their respects so this atheist ain't knocking it. (And now my Dad wants the plot behind Mum but, as my sister said, my mother would get up and move out if he moved in! Thinking to buy it anyway.)
Good luck with the travel plans; don't be afraid to play the compassion card. Look after yourself - all this upset and travelling won't do your immune system any good so maybe give it a boost.

Re: RIP dad
Hello Caroline
Sorry to hear about your Dad but as others have said he will be at peace now.
Take care of yourself whilst travelling as this will be an exhausting trip for you.
