As We Spread The Ashes

Jodie Jamieson

As I walked along the path in the graveyard with my family a feel of different emotions ran through me.

We were all here because of one man who was very special to us all but each in a different way. To his wife a loving husband, to his sons a caring father, to his sisters a kind thoughtful brother, to his brothers in law the best brother marriage could give them and to my brother, my cousins and I the funniest uncle ever.

My story may be short but it means a lot too me and I still have many memories and special days to live for. This day wasn't special to me because my uncle had died but was special to me because all my family were reunited and every memory was in our hearts as we spread the ashes together.
