Where do you really think Ive gone.
Just simply gone away?
Left behind all that I cherished
My whole life till yesterday

Well I have some news for
You really now need to hear
I packed a case with all I'd need
And all that I held dear

Then satisfied Id left nowt out
I stored it safe away
Not knowing when Id need it
I checked it every day

I added new things to it as you do, so nowt could go astray
No need to follow any rules ,no worry about the weight
For the only place Id carry it
Would be through heavens gate

Today I had to sort it out
I will need it when I go
It was packed to bursting point
And I think youd like to know

Just what my well filled case had in
Most of it was my childrens smiles,
I kept every cheeky grin
A box of hugs and kisses, I only kept the best
A kindly passing angel offered to take the rest
To leave me space for memories
Of of all those that I love,
As they couldnt travel with me
For my journey was to heaven above

When all the fuss is over.and Im sure your all OK
Ill shed a tear, take one look back, and then be on my way
Ill meet you all in heaven,
Where I will peacefully pass away the years
Hoping you can also pack your cases full of love
And remember me with happiness and smiles
Not with sadness, not with tears
For know that Ill be waiting there, to help you with your case
And celebrate your safe arrival as you pass through heavens gate

I think we can all agree that Mr 3Dogs has had a damn good send off (Im sure redfox will forgive one little swear word!!!!! )

Can I now suggest that at 12 noon tomorrow we close this thread and start a new one.. In his memory??

I really dont think Mrs 3Dogs would want to see us going on and on about it for a week or so...

What do you all think??

I think that's a good idea xx

My first post,hope I'm doing it correctly and it's to honour Alan and Susan,I have been following their posts for some time and feel that I know them as friends,I share all of your sadness and agree that Susan has shown remarkable bravery,courage,devotion and love to Alan.I hope in the coming days and weeks she can draw comfort from knowing that so many people have been moved and have felt honoured to share her diary.It shows just how much people care by the number of candles lit in memory of Alan.God bless and be kind to yourself Susan.

Well I raised a glass purple welches. Decided not a good idea to drink in a school night.
RIP Alan. HUGS to 3 dogs.

I agree that is a good idea and a link to Susan and Alan's diary could be placed in the first post.

West, would you be willing to do the honours at 12 noon tomorrow?
