Day 63

Big day today Mikes coming home.

I'm not going to talk about mundane things tonight it is far to important to me to have Mike home with us, what a comfort to me to have him here beside me whilst i chat.

I'm glad with the decisions i have made and i at last feel some inner peace at last.

We have been talking about where Mikey should be! and Tim has been moving furniture etc, ornaments have been stashed away to make room for our most precious treasure.

Tomorrow he is going on his final journey home to Claire and i will be handing him over to her care. The casket that holds Mikes remains for her is beautiful. It will be the last thing that we can do as Mikeys parents for her. It is a gift of love. I hope she realises that. I hope Mikey is looking down from where ever he is and approves!!

I am going down to Essex and its the first time i will be driving on a motorway!! 26 years of driving and it will be my first!! Shame on me!! Still it will be an adventure.

We have finalised everything today really. We have our plot numbers!!! but the land registry paperwork could take until February. That will be 6 months wait in total. Its taken till now to get the plot numbers through. Fenland council for you!! It is a slower pace here.

We also had to have certificate for Mikes ashes to prove authenticity as ashes cannot be disposed of willy nilly. Quite right so i will need to tell Claire tomorrow that should she reach a time where Mikes ashes may cause distress or that she needs to move on etc we have the document. We will need it for us to as we have the plot for him and Tim!!! As i said poor old me will be on my own, but close. I know mike would much rather share a bed with his Dad!!!

Well i better print off a route planner for the morning, and i will post some photos tomorrow.

I'm worried about tomorrow really but will be pleased to be back here tomorrow evening. Tim at least has some company. I hope i can cope as i know it will be a very emotional day for me seeing all Mikeys things and the flat that he loved so much.

Ah well Tomorrow is another day...........
