Almost fell off through the tears and then the laughter knowing how hard she would have laughed. if I'd fallen on my arse.

It's very difficult to decide where and when to scatter the ashes isn't it ?<br />Our Dad died in 2008 and his ashes are still in his filing cabinet !!!! He did love filing { he was an Organisation and Method's Officer } and I think that's why we have left them there !
