Concerned

I will be heading down to Saltcoats soon as today is the day my mother's ashes are to be interred. I am more than a bit worried that I may have a confrontation with the woman who is most certainly not welcome at the graveside. She has done more than enough damage already and I do not wish to see her.

When I think back over the last year of my mother's life there have been times when my mother has said something which made me wonder what was meant and where it came from. I think I now have a better idea. I am angry that this woman interfered. This is a time I can never get back, I will never be able to mend the relationship. I trusted her to look after my mother. I did not expect what has happened.

With the ancestors

The interment went well. My mother is now with the ancestors. There were no dramas or unwanted people attending, which was a concern for me.

It took place under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the sun blazing down. I got to the cemetery about 50 minutes early, but then again, you don't want to be late in a cemetery. I made my way between the graves, heading to the spot where I knew the grave would be.

First of all though, I managed to find the grave of my great-grandparents. When I was in this cemetery for the interment of my father's ashes in January 2011 my mother had said that her grandparents were buried in the cemetery but that she couldn't remember exactly where. Somehow my footsteps led me straight there today. I took this as a good sign, that my ancestors were with me.

Now that the interment is over the next thing to deal with is the will. I am prepared to fight, which is what a certain person didn't expect for some reason. But a certain person will learn I will not let it go.
