My daughter had written a letter to her Dad that she wanted to give to him & we went & said our goodbyes at the funeral directors – After a few minutes of the two of us standing at this coffin my daughter said to me
“Mum, he’s not dead”, I was not looking at her & just said
“Please don’t say that you need to accept this” and she said
“No Mum, dead people don’t cry” I looked and she was pointing to his left eye which had just shed a tear that ran down past his ear, then another while I was watching, she said
“Two tears – one each Mum, he doesn’t want to be there & he is sad for us”
Thankyou for Ange for sharing this beautiful story on the dream site. You and Smitty have is a special little girl.
And I believe "We dont say Good-bye"

It is beautiful Ange, so many things happen that you may not be aware of, but when something like that happens, you can be so grateful that you were a witness to it.
For anyone reading this who doesn’t know, in the " Group" section of this site is an amazing section that Julie started called " I dreamed a dream."
Please have a look, and contribute if you feel like it, it’s a real eye opener! Thank you Julie. xx

I think we could promote Kleenex on this site Rowley! We’ve all had far too much experience of using it. ( Wonder if they’d pay us so we could have a chat room? ) lol

Ange that is beautiful, an amazing memory that you’ll forever remember! When my husband died a tear ran from his eye, the dear nurse holding me said “That tear is for you” – I’ll never forget that. Take care, Maureen x
