    So the funeral was a couple a days ago now. Everything went well.

    I decided to cut out a shirt pocket from one we had bought together. Printed out a old photo, wrote a personal message on the back and put it in the shirt pocket. It was then placed on the chest of of my other half in the coffin. That way at least a small part of us would always be together, and the only way I could keep my promise of always being there.

    So now they are resting under the shade of a cherry tree.

    Don't think I'll write more about it here on the site. The only advice I can give is perhaps to record your loved ones voice. Read out a poem, a part of a book, today's shopping list, anything is better than listening to just a voicemail line.

    Thanks for the kind thoughts.
